Bow Valley Sunrise
Watercolour and crayon

As I’ve said before, there are many ways to
use white crayons in watercolour paintings.
I’m also going to talk a lot about using neon orange in ‘Paint Every
Mountain’ − the book I’m putting together about hiking and painting in
mountains all over the world.
This deceptively warm-looking winter sunrise is one of my favourite examples of orange crayon effects. In the coming weeks I’ll write about others, such as back-lit flowers, iron oxide or glints of iron in rocks or soil, manufactured items like clothing and, of course, fall colours (especially larch). I’ll also be including in my book odd effects like I wrote about in this 2014 blog post
