..: Aquarellissime [Peindre en négatif] :.. Voici l’une de mes créations dont, pour une fois, je suis assez fière, pour 2 raisons ! La première est que j’ai travaillé d’après une photo dont j’ai réalisé une interprétation tout à fait personnelle. Luc JOLY, notre professeur, nous a montré quelques points techniques la manière de peindre en négatif par exemple, mais il nous a laissées nous dépatouiller avec le reste !!! La seconde raison est que la lumière de cette aquarelle est particulièrement belle ce qui me permet, une fois n’est pas coutume, de dire qu’elle est réussie !!!! Tout le centre et la partie gauche de cette aquarelle ont été réalisés en technique mouillée, soit sur papier sec en ouvrant des zones humides pour faire fuser la couleur (ombres des pots), soit sur papier humide (fleurs et feuillages) avec quelques détails (tiges) en technique sèche pour donner du relief et de la profondeur. Une fois le tout bien sec, il ne me restait plus qu’à remplir tous ces blancs avec le feuillage, les fleurs, le crochet du pot .

..: Aquarellissime [Un geste basique : faire fuser la couleur] :.. Il m’arrive parfois de pratiquer l’aquarelle avec des aquarelliste grands débutants et cette expérience m’a permis de réaliser une chose importante : certains gestes, basiques en aquarelle, qui maintenant me semblent très faciles sont, en réalité, extrêmement complexes et pourtant fondamentaux si on veut avancer dans cette technique picturale. Il en va ainsi, par exemple pour le geste qui consiste à faire fuser la couleur sur papier sec pour obtenir un fondu, comme dans cette aquarelle (réalisée d’après un tableau de Shirle BEDIENT), sur les pétales des fleurs. Tout est une question de dosage de l’eau sur le papier, chose que l’on ne maîtrise pas du tout lorsqu’on est débutant ! Ce qu’il faut bien comprendre, en aquarelle, c’est que lorsque 2 surfaces se rejoignent, les pigments colorés migrent toujours de la zone la plus humide vers la zone la moins humide. Les choses se passent donc en 3 temps et il faut se munir d’un second pinceau, a demi mouillé d’eau pure pour réaliser ce fondu. 1.

Le dessin en perspective J’ai décidé de rédiger cet article afin d’approfondir les connaissances que je vous ai déjà délivrées dans le mini-guide sur la perspective, et également pour préciser certains points pour ceux qui auraient commandé la formation sur les bases du dessin, ou pour les autres qui souhaiteraient tout simplement approfondir cette notion.
