STAGE 1

Sahalie Falls, Oregon, USA

SKETCH THE COMPOSITION

According to the picture, roughly sketch the composition on the watercolor paper with a No. 2 pencil. Take away some plants on the lower right and ignore most of the rock and tree details on the cliff. To apply masking, use the wedge end of a ½-inch brush to cover the water walls, water at bottom, sky above, few trees on top of the cliff and some leaves on the lower right.
