Moon tutorial results

 I followed a moon tutorial by Whitehouse Art today. This was fun to do and I think it came out quite well for a first try with this looser style. Things that were new or mostly new to me:

  • Using Prussian Blue
  • Splattering paint drips: I had tried very timidly before
  • Using white Gouache to cover up a mistake (only worked a bit)

Materials used

  • Fluid watercolor block 8x8 sheet
  • Staedtler watercolors + Winsor and Newton Cotman Turquoise mixed to make the teal.

Lessons learned

  • I worked hard to get the shape of the moon nice and clean since I have taken to heart the lesson that good lines are the start of a good piece of art.
  • I am not happy with the coverage of the Pebeo Studio Gouache white. This is one budget purchase I regret so there's an order on the way with a Winsor and Newton Permanent White as a replacement. At least the Pebeo Goauche seems to splatter ok.

Here's the result
