Watercolour Demonstration

card demo strip
 
Have a go at this simple hand painted card demo. Just 5 stages then you will have your own contemporary piece  of art work. It's a great way of building confidence with your brush work and creating art at the same time!!  

 

 Stage 1
  • Just use a rigger or similar thin brush to paint the outline of your design, I use red but you can experiment with different colors for different affects!
Stage 2
  • Then I used Naples Yellow and Raw Sienna to paint in the sand, quay walls, and roof tops

Stage 3

  • Then I added a cooler colour to the back ground buildings as there in shadow helps to make the lovely white walls of the buildings sing out, thats what we want in this little picture. Keep it fresh and simple! Then I added Burnt Umber to deepen the colour in the  quay wall.

Stage 4

  •  I then painted in the boats, added the darker shadows with a mix of Raw Umber and Ultra Marine.

Stage 5

  • Just to finish off I went over my initial red line drawing with Burnt Umber, this makes the work look more solid.
