Landscape painting with ink outline - BC watercolor landscape

This is the final watercolor landscape painting I did of the Brithish Columbia landscape.   I have lifted the color off the light house to achieve the much lighter value that it should have.  Other colors are added and lifted as well.  What I like about the ink outline is that the shpaes of the landscape element are more well defined.  Watercolor pigments are added within a hard edge which gives sharpness and well define edges although gradated wash is used in many of the larger shapes.  When outlining a watercolor painting, always keep in mind of the over all shape of the subject.  Also it will train the eyes to look for large shapes and how it’s placement within the landscape.
