Design Composition:
- - Stage 1: illustration The Morro Hill, Lechería, Anzoátegui State, Venezuela. - Stage 2: Venezuelan Flora composed of roses, cayenne, yellow creek, accompanied by a Turpial, national bird..
Initial step:
As it is a freehand line design that does not merit a trace of perfection to begin with, we proceeded to mark with the pencil the areas that will make the contrast in the sketch as it is the hill, the shore and the palm trees, leaving us the free way to start with the sunset and the sea that deserves a little more work.
As you can see the tones that are reflected in the sunset are not the same as I have in my materials, but I managed to achieve them using the technique of watercolors with a little water, placing the tones a little lighter, helping to spread on the canvas and with the brush of measure 12 "to make the sparkles that gave form to the clouds, likewise it was applied with the sun and its depth, the flashes that the same one is leaving in the sea were made with water, located only a slight portion of paint in the middle and diffusing it to the sides.
Once the sunset is defined, we proceed to mark the contrast by tracing the areas that will be black, which, because they are so small, were made with small sticks of sticks, which, when wetted with paint, give very fine lines that help in the details like the palm trees and the boat.
This step requires a more exact layout of the sketch that you want to capture, because they are figures with many details that must be taken care of when painting them to obtain a good result, since in a painting what attracts the most are the details.
Note: the stroke should be smooth since there are colors that do not cover the lines in graphite that are very dark.
Once all the figures have a shape and fill we can start the filling of the background, which does not merit a pencil drawing but directly with the brush once it is clear what the tones and shape will be.
