Hello friends!
While we are in quarantine, I took an online watercolor course on painting flowers. First of all, I got bold from this training. We were taught not to be afraid of bright colors and draw bright aqurael. I think this effect has been achieved.
For brightness, our teacher asked us to use a watercolor tube, so that the colors are bright.
One of the lessons was about drawing a dandelion. I repeated this lesson for this post, I used dry paints. Each time the result is different
My work will not be complicated in form. I focus on the properties of watercolors to mix and spread on paper. I will build my picture based on these effects. But first, I will mask with a masking liquid the flowers that should remain white.
I use this masking liquid. I cover the subtle details of my picture with this
I dry my painting, because then I will use more water and paint.
I want to show my new watercolor paints. I bought each color separately and made up my palette. I arranged each color in a logical and understandable order for me. Now I remember where and what colors are in the pencil case.
Here I choose the colors that will be in my paint. The colors of the paints should mix well.
Now I wet a sheet of paper with water. I added too much water ... I also started adding blue to my work. It should be dark in the corner and turn into a blue-green gradient
I dried the sheet. Now I wet the sheet in another corner, where I will have a big dandelion.
While the sheet of paper is wet, I begin to draw the middle of the dandelion. These are brown and green stripes, which should slightly blur on a wet sheet. I add some clean water to the edges of the dandelion to make it look fluffy.
I am waiting for my sheet of paper to dry. Next, I remove the masking fluid. And I'm starting to draw the details.
I take my picture off the board and peel off the tape.
