Watercolor painting

Watercolor painting is a kind of painting form that uses water and pigment as the main materials to draw transparent, fresh and light paintings. It makes use of the transparency of water and the bright colors of pigments, and makes the works full of luster and three-dimensional sense through the gradual change, covering and overlapping of colors. Here are some tips and suggestions for watercolor painting: 1. Preparatory work:

Watercolor painting requires relatively high-quality drawing paper and pigments, so it is necessary to fix the drawing paper on the drawing board with adhesive tape or gummed paper before painting to prevent the drawing paper from wrinkling and deformation due to the infiltration of water. At the same time, prepare watercolor pens, watercolor pigments, watercolor pens and other tools.

2. Color application:

The application of color in watercolor painting is usually from light to heavy, from cold to warm, from dark to bright. You can draw a layer of light color on the drawing paper first, and then draw a layer of dark color after the first layer is dry, so as to adjust the color depth. When using watercolor brushes, we can study the different shapes and sizes of brushes and create various interesting color effects.

3. Watercolor painting skills:

You need to master some basic skills in watercolor painting. One is to master the water control of the brush, that is, to master the infiltration and flow of water in the brush and control the humidity of the brush. The second is to master the strength of the brush, that is, adjust the strength of the brush as needed to create different shades of color. The third is to master the slow drying of pigments. Watercolor painting needs to wait until the pigments are completely dried on paper before the next operation.

4. Pay attention to the color level:

Color gradation is an important point in watercolor painting. When painting, we should try to avoid using too many colors, but make works with different postures through the collocation of the same color and different shades. In addition, we should pay attention to the layering of colors, that is, through different shades of color matching and transparent effects, we can create a three-dimensional sense and a sense of space.

5. Be diligent in practice:

Watercolor painting needs constant practice and exploration. Through the familiarity and application of pigments and brushes, the quality and level of painting can be gradually improved. Painting needs perseverance, constant exploration and practice to achieve higher artistic achievements.
