Peigi: Line and Wash

Peggy Series kindly joined us today to take us through her imaginative and playful process of line and wash illustration techniques.

Using her supply of local scenes in photographs we drew outlines with pen. Waterproof ink was definitely needed as wet on wet watercolour is added to brighten up the composition.

Her examples of initial pencil drawings, pen sketches, then watercolour finish gave us a head start with our own pictures. Paintbrush types, use of water washes and the speed needed to give immediacy to the composition was emphasised.

Our efforts were surprisingly good!
