Bananas For Process

I scanned this one in progress for your enjoyment.

First I "inked" the line art with acrylic.


Second I built up layers of acrylic wash. to create the forms and values. This is the underpainting.


Thirdly and finally, I lay down a transparent layer of concentrated watercolor.


The study is done simultaneous to test the colors.

Good stuff,

What brand of liquid Watercolor are you using? And how do you work with acrylics? once dry there is no way or getting rid of it in brushes or palettes. Would be nice to have a view of your setup, color mixing area, palette and all :)

Thanks for sharing.
