Curly/Squiggles b. Dashes of line c. Prints/daps of colour ● Watch the video tutorial here www.twava.co.uk


A2: Landscape After you have completed the initial tasks (previous), you should be ready/confident to take on the challenge of your own landscape painting. ● Using your ‘prep’ version as a guide (this should have been completed prior to starting this assignment), collect a sheet of A3 (size) drawing paper and sketch-out your landscape. ● Refine your sketchy line with a sharper/stronger line and remove all old sketchy lines so that you are left with a neat clean outline of your work. ● Using water colours, paint your background areas first, and remember to work in layers. ● Add ‘base’ colours to your work, and then gradually build on these base layers with tones/shades of colour. ● Using the tip of the paint brush, bring details into your work.
