Farm Buildings Painted in Pen & Wash . Which method is best for Beginners?

This is a chance for beginners to watch a video on how to paint a group of farm buildings using Pen & Wash technique. Different approaches on how to complete the painting . You decide which is best for you . This is good for beginners new to watercolour painting .
Do you make the sketch first and then add the paint or make a rough pencil sketch and then paint in the various washes and add the pen drawing later. What about the 50/ 50 technique???

HiJune thanks for your comment .Good to hear that you are enjoying the videos. Being relaxed when painting in good, if you can manage it. I tell this on a regular basis, to my weekly art class. Keep on painting cheers.

Oh! John, I honestly love your work and need to attempt a try myself, alas it is the drawing that stumps me, have you thought of putting the drawing ready for us to copy? Best wishes

You can just pause the video, take a screenshot and print it out.
