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.

I have painted this scene a few times with minor variations. I just love the way the street looks and draws you into the painting, seeing people and buildings in the distance. Makes me curious as to what is around the corner.
My process: I started with the blue building in the background, using Thalo Blue and Cobalt. Moved forward to the roof tops, then proceeded down, adding people last. It was a pretty straight forward painting process, hitting the areas with direct paint and getting the strong color down the first time. After it dried, I went back in only in the smallest areas that needed an extra dark for dimension. I darkened the front sides of the buildings, in essence creating a “door” to look through into the back of the painting, glazing with Thalo Blue with touches of dropped in colors here and there. Colors used were, Quin. Burnt Scarlet, Raw Sienna, Cobalt Blue, Thalo Blue, Alizarin Crimson and Cadmium Red Light.
