Tip of the Month Large

Tip of the Month 'A Welsh Hill Farm' *by Jenny Keal*

Sketching in front of your subject will almost certainly help you improve your painting. Water-soluble graphite is an ideal medium for sketching out of doors. It can strengthen your drawing and allow you to add subtle tones. Water-soluble graphite can be used in two ways; you can lay the tone on dry paper, then with a wet brush manipulate the marks to create stronger definition or you can wet the paper first and apply the graphite wet into wet to create subtle effects. In her new DVD Jenny demonstrates in live action these two methods of using water-soluble graphite out of doors.
