Since I’m here on Hatteras Island I didn’t want to let the idea go for painting the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse digitally. I have drawn and painted this famous lighthouse in the past and am sure I will again. You can view my other lighthouse works here.

Ocracoke Lighthouse
Anyone that is familiar with my charcoal drawing knows I have always enjoyed drawing lighthouses, but thought it was time to paint one. This watercolor painting is of the Ocracoke Lighthouse on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. This is a small island off the Hatteras Island that can be reached by taking a ferry. I have, in the past drew 2 Ocracoke Lighthouses that can be viewed here, and here.
Watercolors on 140 lb. watercolor paper.

Window’s Peek
Charcoal Drawing
As a charcoal artist I was inspired by the Ocracoke Lighthouse to draw it’s window.
Using the “The Cotton Cloth Technique,”, I worked it up the window in layers.
The highlights around the window were lifted out with a Knead Eraser.
Trees outside the window was applied last using graphite’s, as well as for the glass reflection.
