Using a Pencil to Check Measurements
Yesterday I painted a street scene in Hudson, New York. (Link to video on Facebook)
I choose a limited palette of gouache: purple, lemon yellow, white, and two shades of raw umber. (Raw umber varies a lot by brand; the Shinhan is really more of a raw sienna). I add vermilion later on as an accent color.
The limited palette unifies the color scheme, and it's fun to try to mix a green with that blue-leaning purple and green-leaning yellow.
In the video, I'm using a time-honored method for checking measurements. I choose a unit of length— the apparent height of the opening of green awning.
I mark off that segment by choking up on my pencil held at arm's length. Then I transfer a comparable unit to my drawing and use that unit of measurement to check other things. It's a good way to guard against errors and to get a reasonably accurate basis for the picture.
