Materials used: French Ultramarine, Light Red, Naples Yellow, Cobalt Blue and Burnt Umber.
The Watercolour paper is Schut Noblesse 140lb not surface. The paper size is 14x10 inches and it has been stretched onto a ply board.

It is not a very good start because I have lost the first sky wash image of this demonstration, never mind I will carry on as if nothing has happened.

First of all I have brushed clear water all over the sky area. As the water settles into the paper I now drop a wash of Naples Yellow, as that settles I drop some Cobalt Blue into the bottom area and then I add a mix of Light Red and French Ultramarine. As it dries I go and put the kettle on. It is vital that the paper dries completely or I will spoil the effect.

Now dry I can proceed with the painting. I wet the lower part of the paper and then drop some Naples Yellow in again, a word of caution here, Naples Yellow is very strong so it does not take a lot to achieve the desired effect. Into that I drop a mix of Cobalt Blue and Light Red. As the paper begins to dry I add a little French Ultramarine mixed with Burnt Umber.
After all of this has dried I now add some gentle shadows to the mountain, for this I mix a weak mixture of Cobalt Blue and Light Red. For the dark parts I have used a mix of the same plus some French Ultramarine. Again now, the paper must be left to dry.
