Characteristics of watercolour paintings

“Water”colour paintings often look fluid and flowing like

water.

Page 3: Watercolour Painting  VA11

Pure black is seldom used in a watercolour painting. The darks are created by layering

washes of colour. A wash of colour is a little bit of paint mixed with water, it is used to

create thin layers of colour.

Page 4: Watercolour Painting  VA11

With a fine brush and attention to detail a watercolour painting can be made to look highly realistic. A watercolour painting can also be

made to look colourful and abstract.

Page 5: Watercolour Painting  VA11

A good watercolour painter sees a lot of different subtle colours. A brown is not painted “just brown” but brown with yellow, brown with blue, brown with orange, etc.. Always look for the extra tints of

colour that others cannot see.

Page 6: Watercolour Painting  VA11

It is difficult to hide mistakes in a watercolour painting because the layers are

somewhat translucent.

Painting Exercise

How to use the different values of color to make an apple appear

three-dimensional.

Page 20: Watercolour Painting  VA11

Sketch the apple and its shadow, using an HB pencil.

Page 21: Watercolour Painting  VA11

Mix yellow with water then apply to the lighter side of the apple, covering about 80% of it. Then, mix burnt umber with a similar amount of water and apply to the dark side of the apple.

Page 22: Watercolour Painting  VA11

The shadow should be darker and fade gently to a lighter value as it goes away from you. You can use burnt umber and a bit of violet for the shadow. Then, mix a green color (yellow and blue) and apply onto the light area of the apple.

Page 23: Watercolour Painting  VA11

When the painting is dry, apply a layer of green to the dark side of

the apple and in the hollow where the stem is attached.

Page 24: Watercolour Painting  VA11

In this last step, add a touch of complementary color (red-orange) to the

lighter side of the apple. The complementary color to use here is yellow mixed with red. Then you can add just a bit of red for the

top.

Page 25: Watercolour Painting  VA11

Clean your brush and apply clean water to wash away some of the paint at the bottom of the apple to show light reflecting from the surface under the apple. Be sure to brush

softly and not damage the paper surface. Then paint in the apple stem and its shadow.

Now is the time to add the final touch - texture. If your apple is has

speckles, make little dots of brown where the speckles appear. Sign your name to your beautiful apple painting!

Here's How:~On dry paper, paint the shape of the droplet using the same colors used to paint the petal or leaf. It should be slightly darker on the side that is nearest the light source.

~You can lighten the opposite side of the droplet by adding a tiny drop clear water or slightly blending off the edge.

~Dry completely.

~Paint the cresent shaped shadow opposite the light source.

~When absolutely dry, lift the highlight with a stiff brush or a hard eraser.

When choosing an image to base a watercolour painting on, choose one that will lend itself well to the medium.

Page 30: Watercolour Painting  VA11

Choose one that has a solid composition and a nice, subtle range of colour (think in terms of how watercolour behaves based on the exercises you have done).
