Artisans: Jeweler (stage three)
Using very light watercolor washes, I laid down the basic colors. I use Yarka brand watercolors and Blick Masterstroke purest red sable brushes. Since vellum absorbs the paint pretty quickly, the first wash is not going to look pretty or smooth - this is not a problem.
I draw/paint to the edges, so don't normally use masking tape to attach the paper to the drawing board for the mixed media pieces. Here, the watercolor washes were thin, and the paper only buckled very slightly. Once the paint dried I put the drawing between two pieces of chipboard and left it overnight. The drawing was nice and flat in the morning.
