Savannah River Walk

About the Painting:

Name: Savannah River Walk

Medium: Watercolor and Gouache on Arches 140# watercolor paper

Size: 5×7″

I visited Savannah, GA a couple of years ago with my family.  We loved the River Walk and could have spent several days there.   I love the colorful trolley buses and knew I had to include one in a painting.

In this painting I started with a light underwash all over, using a very light lavender mother color.  I then painted the buildings, leaving holes for the windows and doors so that the underpainting would show through.  I added my bright colors for the awnings, unbrellas, flags and trolley.  I finished with a small amount of opaque gouache, highlighting the umbrellas and top of the trolley.
