old wood and corrugated iron in pen and watercolour

Let's paint worn, old wood and rusty iron. We'll start with a few short exercises and then put it together in a painting of a cute, little barn.

I'll show you how to create the feeling of something having lots of character, giving you examples of some colour choices. We'll be working quickly and with free strokes and charging in with colours to make everything look organic and natural. As always, we'll be concentrating on the direction of light and the direction of our brush strokes.

There's a downloadable worksheet below for you to print out and keep.
