Birds Hut Dunns Swamp
The Story Behind the Urban Sketching
Bird’s Hut is a historic, community space located near Dunns Swamp, that aims to promote the arts. It looks abandoned but apparently has artist staying there to work off grid for a while.
I had a look around the property and there was a few interesting things laying around which I may also sketch at some stage in the future.
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.
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
