What are the steps of watercolor painting?

Methods and steps of watercolor painting: (1) Observe and understand the object, which is very important before painting. On the basis of a comprehensive and full understanding of the object, you can start painting in a planned way. (2) Start the manuscript with a pencil, draw the approximate position and outline, pay attention to the composition, the primary and secondary relationship of the picture and the approximate light and shade relationship, and lay a good foundation for the next color modeling. (3) After drawing the outline, start the general color. It is required that the basic tone and background of the object be paved with large color blocks from the overall point of view, and we should always pay attention to the correctness of the basic tone and the general contrast between light and shade. Use a pen boldly, starting with a light color. On the basis of general coloring, the next step is to enter the work of in-depth understanding and performance, where you can't grasp the part and don't let go. Compare the overall relationship. Grasp the key parts of the light and dark structure, and strengthen the expressive force of the picture and the appeal of the color. In the treatment of backlight and light receiving surface, the color should be thin and the moisture should be sufficient. In the deepest part of the painting or the processed part, the water content of color matching is less, and the dry coating method is the main method. (4) subtly, this is the last stage of the work, some of which will be dealt with emphatically. Instead of doing ordinary work, we should use and put pen to paper carefully, check the overall effect, correct problems in time when found, and strengthen the strengthening and weaken the weakening. But for individual places, under the premise of not affecting the overall effect, in order to maintain the unique charm of watercolor painting, try to change it as little as possible or not. Make it fully reflect the characteristics of watercolor painting. In a word, we should pay attention to the details of trade-offs, not treat them equally, and fully express the objects, so as to complete this work.
