Golden Gate Bridge - A watercolor painting by Manju Panchal

“Watercolor condenses time and consolidates experience.”

Frank Marcello 

I have already painted the “Golden Gate Bridge” 

( “A suspension bridge that connects the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. )

 on earlier occasions but the photo that I found recently 

caught my eye mainly because, it had quite a different 

composition, was an evening scene and also 

captured the cars racing across the bridge. This scene 

looked a bit challenging as I decided to use the watercolor 

medium and had to capture the racing cars, which 

were going to be gestural strokes and not too much of details. 

I finally painted it on Chitrapat handmade paper using 

my usual Winsor and Newton Cotman and 

Camlin Artists water color tubes

“The world always seems brighter when you’ve just 

made something that wasn’t there before.” 

Neil Garman

I recently completed one of my watercolor paintings 

on Canson Moulin du Roy paper and am posting the completed work

along with the steps involved in creating it. It was an early 

morning scene, when we were at Colva beach 

and it was not crowded. The stretch of sand far across, 

and the misty look in the distance motivated me to create this work.

Step 1. Created the sky using a mix of warm and cool colours, and added the distant foliage on the left. Used wet on wet technique as I did not want to have hard edges in the distance.

Step 2. Created the bushes on the left ( Camlin Artists water color tubes ), the sandy seashore and the ocean. At this stage I have not added details anywhere.

Step 3. Added layers of colours to the bushes on the left to create the form and shadow, and flat wash of colour on the sandy seashore. Added details to the figures on the beach.
