Ilulissat progress

I made the sketch seen on the previous post

 to familiarize myself with the scene of 

the village of Ilulissat, in Greenland,

and made a copy of that pencil sketch 

 so I could add some color with watercolor sticks.

Derwent "Artbar" watercolor sticks - don't think they make them anymore (?).

In the photo below, my colored sketch is to the left of the painting.

I don't know about you,

but to see the photo in black & white and do the sketches

helps me to get the painting set in my mind.

(Even then, things happen when painting that weren't planned -

sometimes good, sometimes ... oops.)

Pretty happy with this start.

Thanks for looking in - and if you are a painter doing 

the February 28 Paintings in 28 Days,

I wish you happy painting!
