Description My 2nd watercolor tutorial.

It might looks pretty long, because it's filled with many pictures to help you understand my process, instead of using a lot of texts.


Edit: Wet in Wet is : Adding wet colors on damp sheet of paper or an area of still-wet paint, and let them run out over the wet surface, giving soft-hazy effect



If you have any watercolor question, Feel free to ask me.

Link to the original work.

wow it's great~
I have a question, for the line art what kind of media you use?
is it pencil? or drawing pen?

I always use pencil. [for watercolor painting]

so, we have to make a really clean line art?

emperpep In reply to UlfaShirayukiHime [2011-08-07 10:19:56 +0000 UTC]

Yes, try drawing with low hand pressure so you can erase it easily when you make mistake.

Or use a light table.

I am impressed with how controlled you are with your colors. : p When I do watercolor, they tend to bleed. Dx

I imagine you take it pretty slow tho too, huh? : p

Congrats on the Daily Deviation! You totally earned it. This is so inspiring I've always loved watercolors, but I never knew where to start. And now I do.... Thank you I've taken two three-month-long art classes that weren't as helpful as this! So, again, thanks!

luinelle In reply to ??? [2011-08-01 05:09:53 +0000 UTC]

Is Reeves an ok brand to start out with? Or is it better to pay for the Windsor and Newton?

And do you tape your paper down with masking tape or something?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

emperpep In reply to luinelle [2011-08-01 06:37:50 +0000 UTC]

I recommend you to use winsor&newton, Reeve watercolor contain too much chalk and filler.

And I didn't stretch the paper.

Whoa... you make it look way too easy. I can't control watercolor for nuts, but I wish more people would submit traditional media art more. That said, I'd love to be able to replicate the effects in digital one day.
