Watercolor paintings, tutorials, and videos
This one was a ‘throw caution to the wind’ affair. After the first rather tight rendition of the flowers I wanted to see if I could inject a bit more energy into things. It was *really* tough and I didn’t know what the hell I was doing most of the time. It’s not perfect but I’m definitely moving the dial a little.
I don’t seem to have a photo of the setup for this one. I’m getting sloppy.
Anyway – I tried a couple of different things in this painting. First – less water and more paint. In fact more paint than I could reasonably think I need. Second – I worked the flowers a little more than I would normally to see if more detail would improve them. The first change wored well I think – things aren’t washed out and things pop. A little garish maybe but I’ll take it.
The flowers didn’t work out so well. Too fussy but you never know unless you try.
Day 7 (or day 2 of the second week). Still life again and I’m glad this will be the last of the flowers.
Started with the flowers.
Isn’t this a nice duck? (Sorry coot).
