Penciless outlining for watercolours


I realize that the picture at left is a bit fuzzy, and I apologize for this.

It's illustrating a new technique I've discovered: outlining in orange. Pencil tends to show through.

Usually on small paintings, I just paint. However this painting is in fact close to 8 1/2
by 11 in real life. Much more detail therefore is required. Hence the outlining in light orange.

I discovered long ago that orange paint diluted with a certain amount of water creates a nice lighter skin tone. Now I have found it works for outlines too.
