Learn to sketch in ink and watercolour with me: learn.sharibla...
In this demo, I’ll share how I sketch a Spanish Baroque Mission in ink, and then paint it in watercolour.
If you want to know more about the colours on my palette or how to fill your own palette, have a look at “My Essential Watercolour Palette” here:

Loved this. Learned how to get personalized notifications to see more. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it!

That was beautiful. I visited this church when I lived in Arizona. I noticed there were so many doggies when I visited. I believe it’s the oldest church in Arizona.

I love using photo references. First it brings me back to the moment. Secondly it lets me edit the composition. Most important, it makes the experienced so much more leisurely. I love your work.

[@patriciadawn4067]

Absolutely amazing! I wonder how long it took you to draw this. I would love to be able to do something like this.

[@shariblaukopf9677]

Thanks so much Patricia. I would say that this took about an hour in all, both when I did it on location and when I did it again in studio. So happy that you enjoyed watching!!

[@atheransari8038]

Good

[@jamesoglesby857]

Shari what were the colors in your palette when painting the Mission?

[@shariblaukopf9677]

HI James. I have to look at the video again to see what palette I was using. I’ll get back to you.

😀 Après avoir réaliser l'aquarelle,j'ai très envie de prendre des cours mais je ne sais pas s'il y a une traduction en français??? J'ai le livre "Comprendre la couleur" traduit en français 😄Merci pour le partage c'est un grand plaisir pour moi de vous regarder peindre!!

[@shariblaukopf9677]

Merci Monica!
Malheureusement mes cours ne sont pas traduits en français mais j'ai beaucoup d'étudiants français qui les suivent et les comprennent très bien car je parle et peins lentement.

[@natalierice6528]

Beautifully done! You really captured the unique structure. I used to live just a few miles south of San Xavier and always enjoyed my visits there. I always found something new to see that I missed on previous visits. It is a lovely bit of history that is being preserved.

[@shariblaukopf9677]

Natalie, thanks so much for watching. It is a lovely bit of history and the restoration of the interior is quite spectacular. Next time I will have to sketch that too.

[@annepercival7814]

Thankyou so much for sharing…. What a difference a bit of sun makes…… blue skies and shadows…. Very rare here in Manchester this winter

[@shariblaukopf9677]

Glad you enjoyed it Anne. It's been grey in Montreal but it was nice to get to a place with some sun.

[@Oscar_Dakota]

I loved watching this, how your perception of details grows beyond what I had originally seen. Great job!

[@shariblaukopf9677]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for writing!
