Albergue de Trinidad de Arre
The Story Behind the Urban Sketching
A wonderful bridge that I came across while walking the Camino in 2014 and again in 2018. I remember stamping my Credential (camino passport) under the albergue arches. I haven’t quite mastered Ian Fennelly vibrant landscapes just yet, mine still seem to be more earthy colours.
My Sketching and Painting Process
Initial Pencil sketch.
Adding waterproof Ink over the pencil so this will not bleed during the watercolour stage.
Pencil marks erased.
Watercolour added loosely just for some basic colour.
Tombo brush pens added for toning and shadows.
Drawing in all the fine details in ink.
Finished artwork after removing some of the brickwork adding more watercolour to the bridge.
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
My painting come from my own experiences that I have photographed while traveling. By reading this blog, you as a viewer can now hear The Story Behind the Painting. Where, when, what was happening while I was photographing the wildlife.
Enjoy, Chris Osborne
