2 ADDING COLOUR

This image is based on very pale pastel colours and as such, using the transparent nature of watercolour helps you build some beautiful tints. Look deep into the image and filter them from the light tints first. I start with a hint of Naples Yellow on the dog. When dry, I add in pale notes of other colours for the shading: Rose Dore, a touch of Scarlet Lake, Venetian Red, Antwerp Blue and Perylene Violet. For the landscape in the background, I used Olive Green, Green Gold, Venetian Red, Burnt Umber and Sienna.
