A shadowed courtyard in Line and Wash Watercolor. Easy to follow. Peter Sheeler

This is a redo of an urban Sketch I did in Porto Portugal. I have used the same brush and materials to show my technique when working on location.
Not sure if I should have even been in the courtyard, but the gate was open at the time and the scene and in particular the shadows just called to me.

BRUSH: A Sakura medium size waterbrush. This brush has a reservoir in the handle. With a squeeze you can apply water to activate paints or clean the brush. Takes some practice to control the flow.
PEN: The Uni-ball deluxe micron roller ball pen .5mm nib. These pens are extremely waterproof on my papers and can be painted over immediately. The roller ball is almost indestructible and claims to be archival.
PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 140lb Hot Press Paper for this Video.
My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.
For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.

PAINT PALETTE::
The palette is the mixing tray from a "Koi" Watercolour travel set. The colours are set up so the ones I mix together most often are close together.
