1. Topic: Drawing and Painting
a. Is drawing important to watercolor painting? 5/24/2019
b. Drawing is very important as a design tool to decide what and where the main subject is located on the paper.
Drawing in a sketchbook to capture the shape and size of an object along with a photograph to document the subject is the starting point in preparing for a watercolor painting.
Keeping the sketch simple and collect the essential information. Making changes and adding elements is easier at this stage.
The drawing could also capture the light and dark areas to evaluate the values to use in the painting.
