charcoal drawing step 1

We bought 2 doors from Bunnings on the weekend, joined them together and then pinned our beautiful watercolour paper onto them, the perfect hard base for drawing.

First step is to wash the paper with a very light watercolour before we start the drawing process. The paper will need one night to dry and then we can start ! This just gives it a bit of colour and an extra dimension.

What our we painting?? Well, you can watch it come to life!
