"Watered World" - 18

Moving along here - getting the reflections in the windows almost done, and the building sections...  then will move to the open ones in the rear, then the ghostly skyscrapers - then get on with the left side buildings, and finally the waterway itself...  taking a good time, but is coming to life in a nice manner, and is worth the trials and tribulations...

"Watered World" - 17

Continuing on, adding in the process two more colors of inks - indian yellow and dark green.....

"Watered World" - 16

bits and pieces over the board, from finishing the walls of buildings, to window boxes, to florals...  sepia for the building and boxes, with the pair being red earth coated over with antelope brown...  floral include light green, sap green, and processed cyan...

"Watered World" - 15

Scraped the bottom of the sap green bottle, but managed to get the right building colored, as well as finished adding antelope brown to the rest of the woodwork on the lower right...

"Watered World" - 14

added coloring to another building section, one of the extended rooms - this time using sap green, then antelope brown over, with processed cyan for the roof...  also did some woodwork on the right fore lower...

"Watered World" - 13

more color - variations on the sap green, red earth, and antelope brown, and mixes...

"Watered World" - 12

 And now am in the process of coloring the building of the painting - am using sepia, sap green, and red earth inks... and noticed that need finish off the grisaille of the bridge bottom left...

"Watered World" - 11

Getting into the 'homestretch' re the sky - just a bit left to do along the side of the left buildings...  then be on to coloring the buildings and floral, etc...

"Watered World" - 10

Finally another photo to show update - and hope in another couple of days, can get the rest of the sky done, and move on to the rest of the painting....  note, too, some of the window floral has been colored as well - light green and sap green...  bloom dots will come later...

Sorry is taking so long a time between updates, but am trying as much as possible to keep to the fine point stippling, which is making decent photos hard to do with the camera I have...  but will see if can have a visual later today at least of the sky progress [which is across the board at the top and now working its way down the left side...

A wee bit more on the sky, and added coloring [antelope brown] to another building - the seeming coloring on lower right is from the reading lamp, not part of the rendering...

"Watered World" - 8

 the chimney is red earth and antelope brown, and the building is antelope brown...  using the same fine point crow quill as in doing the sky........

"Watered World" - 7

been having problems getting the photo to show clearly the tiny dots used in getting the sky - but this at least shows some of the progress.. am using processed cyan and the very stiff and fine crow quill nib...

"Watered World" - 6

slow going but making progress on the grisaille...

"Watered World" - 5

Finally back to working on this, again, and getting in the boats now, along with further work on the building walls...

"Watered World" close-ups

 to show more the techniques in achieving the different textures using the same nibs...

"Watered World" - 4

further work, shifting between the nib sizes, depending on where and what kind of texture desired...

"Watered World" - 3

Moving along, this time switching to a larger nib for the fore building walls, as seen on the cloth...

"Watered World" - 2

Nothing much to add, just showing more rendering done...

"Watered World" - 1

 Slow but steady as it goes...
