I always liked to draw flowers, although I do not draw them very often. Once before me there was a task to draw them on quite large sheet of paper.
First of all, of course, I made a rough sketch of the future picture. There was no need to draw in detail and I have outlined only the approximate contours of the colors.
Before starting work, I made a few cuts with the blade, but so as not to tear through the paper through.
Then I moistened the sheet on both sides. The paper should be well soaked in moisture and stay wet for a long time, for this I used a wide squirrel brush.
Large strokes I identified the main color spots, which are beautifully spread on a wet basis.
As the paper dried, I took thinner brushes and drew details of the flowers and leaves. Note that the paint fills the incisions and thus there is an engraving effect.
When bymaga dried almost completely, I took the thinnest brush and dorisoval the smallest elements in their work. That's actually all. I hope you'll appreciate my drawing experience!
