Media: and Gouache on paper
Size: 8x10 in
I started this painting with the wet into wet technique; I brushed
clean water onto the paper and then applied the colors to it while it's
wet. This creates a softer look because the paint spreads out as you
apply it, softening the edges of the brushstrokes. The distance that it
spreads can be controlled somewhat by paying attention to how wet the
paper is. The soft edges were used to create a sense
of distance by making some of the pilings in the distance blurry and
lighter in value compared to the ones in the foreground.
