Jane Blundell: Colour exploration - 4 bright, non-granulating watercolours - an amazing quartet. (updated) I have been exploring limited palette options again and came up with this set. This is an unusual palette of watercolours for me as it doesn't contain Ultramarine, my favourite blue, or Burnt Sienna, my favourite earth orange, and it does contain Quinacridone Magenta though that is not a favourite! I find it a difficult 'real world' colour and would generally rather use a rose or crimson. This quartet of colours is designed to be transparent, bright and non granulating - a bit like working with inks - and works beautifully! It is based around a fabulous pair of transparent watercolours - Transparent Pyrrol Orange DS and Phthalo Blue RS DS. Other manufacturers make Phthalo blue RS (or Winsor Blue RS) but I have not found an alternative brand for this orange. To make oranges and greens a mid yellow is added - Hansa Yellow Medium PY97 DS, though it could be Schmincke Pure Yellow or W&N Winsor Yellow or DV Hansa/Arylide Yellow Medium. 5 - Mixed with Phthalo Blue RS it makes amazing purples

I have to wait for the creative moment, for the inspiration to hit me.” The way out of those creative doldrums involves action. *Force yourself to see things differently.Turn a piece upside down and work on it while squinting. *Learn from others. *Court casualness. *Court the accidental. 1, Spatter clear water on the paper, then spatter thinned versions of different colors-especially opposite colors like pale orange and pale blue, pale purple and yellows, pale sienna and pale blue. 2. 3. * Take note of the rhythm of your brush strokes.

CM DESSIN aquarelle-bota-clairefelloni Watercolor Paper And Other Surfaces | Beginner's School The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web. –Pablo Picasso Traditionally, paper is the surface used when painting with watercolor. There are a lot of paper choices out there and it can be a bit overwhelming, but read this lesson before you go out and buy anything to help you feel more confident about your paper options. If you haven’t done so already, check out our Watercolor Supplies And What Do I Need? We’ll also discuss some options besides traditional watercolor paper that you can use in your painting. Here are the topics we’ll be discussing: Paper Texture Paper Weight Dimensions Edges Other Surfaces Stretching Watercolor Paper Exercise 1: Buy Your Paper Exercise 2: Experiment Exercise 3: Stretch Your Watercolor Paper Paper Texture Watercolor papers come in different textures—rough, cold press, and hot press.

5 ways to improve your watercolor skills and have fun 5 ways to improve your watercolor skills With a few changes in your habits you can easily improve your watercolor skills. 1.Have a plan Perhaps the most important advice on that list.

You might also like:How to add visual texture to watercolor and acrylic washes. 2.Work on your drawing on a different paper then transfer your drawing Except if you are confident that you will get your drawing right like you want it on the first try, you will have to erase a few lines. 3.Pay attention to watercolor hard edges Nothing says beginner more than a watercolor where all edges are hard edges. You make soft edges when you paint wet into wet (on wet paper) or you can always soften an edge just after it is painted by painting some plain water next to it. 4.Repeat your colors all over the painting 5.Have fun!
