Heron Bay Project

Holy cow that is amazing! The level of detail... What type of watercolors did you use for this? The colors are really clean.

Also, as a side note, I like your new profile (the image alongside your posts, that is the profile right?) picture!

Thanks Arimel. In terms of the watercolours I used the pebeo studio watercolour paints which I usually use for my maps. I was very careful when laying down the base colours to get consistent colouring, particularly on the roofs. For the base colours I would mix up a decent amount of the colour in a small bowl and dilute it with water to get a consistent dilution across the three maps. When laying down the colour I would use a large brush and try to fill complete areas in one go to avoid lines from laying wet colour over dry colour. Pictured below is most of the selection of colours that I used.


I'm glad you like the new profile picture as well, I've been meaning to make my profile pictures consistent across platforms for a while so made the new one last week. My old one was an image that I've been using as my gaming profile pic for years and wasn't drawn by me.

Wow Will, you are seriously stepping up your mapping game, this is incredible! I love how you put the foliage all along the outside of the buildings, it gives it such a natural flow.
