Bushman’s Hut
The Story Behind the Urban Sketching
While visiting Undara lava tubes in 2019 I walked the Pioneer and Rosella plains lookout tracks. These tracks I hiked solo so I had to fill in the log book before and after my hike, which was located at reception.
This walk follows the old telegraph line that was built in the 1870s and had lots of information boards to read along the way.
Walking along another dry track I came across a Heritage Hut, which is a replica of an early pioneer dwelling and this is my subject for a sketch a few years later.
My Sketching and Painting Process
Initial Pencil sketch.
Adding waterproof Ink over the pencil so this will not bleed during the watercolour stage.
Watercolour added loosely just for some basic colour.
Tombo brush pens added for toning and shadows.
Drawing in all the fine details in ink.
Watercolour Paint, Ink & Paper
I use Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour on Arches France Watercolour Paper, 300g Hot Pressed or Fabriano Artistico Watercolour Paper 300g Hot Pressed..
Tombo Brush Pens N15, N45, N55, N60, N65, N95 and Faber Castell Fine-liners 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7
Enjoy, Chris Osborne

Thank you. I managed to get a few more blogs scheduled for the next week. But I’ve started to limit the text about each artwork down so can get them done quicker. Didn’t realise I was 50 blogs behind no wonder you were missing them.
Anyway take care I’m getting ready for an exhibition opening in a few hours
