I choose a limited
palette to keep
things simple
because I am still
a beginner with
gouache.
3 TRANSFERRING THE SKETC H ON PAPER
By turning the
luminosity to the
max, I use the iPad
as a lightbox to
directly transfer
my drawing to
watercolor paper.
I use an F pencil
to easily erase and
correct mistakes.
I start by laying
down the main
color.
The background
color is pure cyan,
which keeps things
simple because no
mix was needed.

depth to the foliage.
