Here is another Point Buchon Trail painting. It is actually the first in the series with this title.
This progress sequence shows how I start a painting by drawing thin black outlines to define shapes. Sometimes I draw the shapes freehand without stabilizing tools with the Castell brush. This time I used the Lines & Lazy tools with the Castell brush.
After I fill the shapes with preliminary colors I trace over the black outlines of each shape with its own color without being too neat using the Old Inker brush and no stabilizing tools. I then begin to change colors and add more detail. I like to use a low tolerance setting of any where between 5--2 and sometimes as low as 1 on the fill tool.
