How to color with watercolor Question 1: How to color with watercolor? There are two kinds of special watercolor pens: flat head and round head. Cold-pressed watercolor paper, 1, can be painted dry or wet.

Dry painting is a multi-layer painting method. Using the method of layer coating to color the dry background color does not require infiltration effect, and it can be easily colored repeatedly, which is easier to master and suitable for beginners to practice. Expressing affirmation, clear body structure and rich color levels are the specialties of dry painting. The dry painting method can not only write articles on the word "dry", but also make people feel wet with water, avoiding the problem of dryness and boredom. Dry coating method can be layered coating, color masking, color collection, dry pen and other specific methods.

① coating:

That is, dry stacking, dry coloring, and colors are stacked one by one to express the object. There are different levels of coloring in the picture, some places can be done at once, and some places need to be done twice, three times or even more, but it is not advisable to count too many times to avoid losing the transparency of color. It can not be ignored that the layers of paint overlap after work, so as to predict the mixing effect of revealing the background color in advance.

② Cover color:

In fact, it is also a dry stacking method, and the color area of the mask is larger. For example, several colors in the picture are not uniform enough, so we have to mask the colors once to make them uniform. If a piece of color is too warm, a layer of cool color will change its cold and warm properties. The color of the cover should be bright Bo Tu, and it should be re-paved. Generally don't write back, otherwise the color will be dirty with the background color. This method is often used in the process of coloring and the final adjustment of the picture.

(3) color:

Dry color matching means that adjacent colors are painted from their sides after drying, and there is no infiltration between color blocks. Each color itself can also be wet coated to increase variation. This method is characterized by clear outline and bright colors.

(4) dry pen:

Write less water and more colors, and it is easy to fly white when writing; Drawing quickly on rough paper full of water will also produce flying white. The method of dry pen is often used to show the effect of flash or softness.

Wet painting can be divided into wet stacking and wet color collection.

(1) wet overlap:

Wet or partially brush the drawing paper, dry it and then color it, and dry it and then superimpose the color. Proper control of moisture and time will make the effect naturally mellow. Showing the rainy and foggy atmosphere and moist interest is its specialty, which is beyond the reach of some paintings.

(2) Wet color:

This method is often used when the color is close to the dry end, the water color flows through, the boundary is blurred, and the transition soft color gradient is displayed. When collecting color, the water list should be used evenly, otherwise the water will rush to less places, which will easily lead to unnecessary water stains.

Watercolor painting is mostly a combination of dry painting and wet painting. The picture with wet painting as the main part is dry painting, and the picture with dry painting as the main part also has wet painting. The combination of dry and wet painting is expressive, dense and dry, and interesting.

2, the mastery of moisture

The application and mastery of water is one of the key points of watercolor techniques. Water has the characteristics of infiltration, flow and evaporation in the picture, so you should be familiar with "water-based" when painting watercolors. Giving full play to the role of water is an important factor in watercolor painting. To master moisture, we should pay attention to time, air humidity and water absorption of drawing paper.

(1) Time problem:

The time of wet coating should be well grasped. If the colors overlap too early and too wet, it is easy to lose their proper shape. If it is too late, the background color will be dry, watercolor will not penetrate easily, and the connection will be stiff. Generally, when overlapping colors, the water content of the pen should be less and the colors should be more, which is convenient to grasp the modeling and make it penetrate. If the overlapping color is light, wait until the background color is slightly dry before applying.

② Dry humidity of air:

Draw a few watercolors, and you will realize that the water dries slowly indoors, and the water evaporates more slowly when painting outdoors in wet, rainy and foggy weather. In this case, draw less water; In a dry climate, water evaporates quickly, so use more water to speed up the painting of color matching.

③ Water absorption of drawing paper:

According to the water absorption speed of paper, master the water consumption accordingly. When the water absorption is slow, the water consumption can be less, the paper is softer and the water absorption is faster, so it is necessary to increase the water consumption. In addition, large-scale rendering of halo colors, such as sky, ground, still life, people background, etc., should use more water, and should use all water; Use less water to describe parts and details.

3. "Blank" method

Compared with the techniques of oil painting and gouache painting, the most prominent feature of watercolor technique is the method of "leaving blank". Some light and white parts need to be "left blank" when drawing dark colors. The transparency of watercolor pigments determines this painting technique. Light color cannot cover dark color, unlike gouache and oil painting, which can be covered with light color and white powder. Pay attention to watercolor works, and you will find that almost every one uses the technique of "leaving blank".

Question 2: How to paint with watercolor? Dip the watercolor pen in paint and draw on the paper. Watercolor recommends markers, water-soluble colored lead and fountain pens.

Question 3: Coloring skills of watercolor painting Watercolor painting is different from oil painting and Chinese painting. Its moisture control and coloring steps have great influence on the effect. There are various coloring procedures, which are generally as follows: (1) light first and then dark. Draw from the light color of the picture first, and then connect or overlap other dark colors when wet or dry. The same is true for local molding. This program coloring method is easy to master, easy to reflect the transparent characteristics and in-depth and detailed description of watercolor painting, and the picture has a strong sense of light and space. (2) Deep first and then shallow. This coloring program is suitable for dark paintings, which can better grasp the color and interest of the whole picture. Determining the deepest part of the picture is very helpful to grasp and control the three levels of black, white and gray of the whole picture. (3) Far first and then near. Draw from the distant view first, and then draw the middle view and close view. This is the most commonly used coloring procedure in watercolor landscape painting, which is very helpful to grasp the spatial level of the picture. (4) the first time. Start with the main object on the screen. Grasping the big color relationship in the picture from the beginning is conducive to highlighting the main body and clarifying the priorities. (5) Draw a large area or the most vivid color first. Starting with the color painting that occupies a large area of the picture or the most vivid color painting, we can control the basic tone and overall color relationship of the picture. Because some large-area colors determine the basic tone of the picture, it is beneficial to draw bright colors first, which is conducive to the contrast and layout of heavy colors on the whole picture. Water control in watercolor painting: 1. What is the blend of water and color? The blending of water and color requires that water and color be closely combined and complement each other to express the object. You can't unilaterally pursue playing with water and suddenly looking at the modeling of objects. 2. Background treatment of watercolor painting: The background image of watercolor painting can be summarized and concise, and its brushwork should be large and bold, appearing ethereal and elegant. It helps to create a picture atmosphere and set off the prospect. 3. Water rhyme in the picture: Successful watercolor painting requires the picture to be full of water rhyme. Namely: transparent, moist, ethereal, flowing and other fascinating visual effects. 4. Transparency of the picture: Transparency is the biggest language feature of watercolor painting. We should learn to make rational use of the dilution of water to show the transparency of color on the screen. 5. Mastering the time of pen use: When the watercolor painting is not dry in the early stage, the watercolor painting should penetrate, connect and overlap, resulting in certain effects. It is especially important to master the time of using a pen. For example, in-depth description, the second pen can wait until the water on the paper dries. There is more water on paper, so it is faster to use a pen! 6. Influence of season and climate: In spring and rainy days, the air is humid and the water evaporates slowly. In autumn and sunny days, the air is dry and the water evaporates quickly. Outdoor painting is windy and sunny, and water evaporates quickly. Therefore, according to different seasons and climates, do more exercises to control the water screen and master the experience. 7. Poor water control: Too little water will make the picture look dry, dry and stuffy, and lose the characteristics of watercolor. There is too much water, and the color of water flowing everywhere is difficult to control, which is not conducive to shaping the body.

Question 4: How to color watercolor pigments? Squeeze the watercolor into the palette, add water and color it.

Solid watercolor is dipped in water, poked and colored with a brush. (Well, it's the same as saying nothing.)

The most basic watercolors are dry painting and wet painting.

Dry painting is to paint the second layer after the previous layer of watercolor dries, which makes the painting more layered and contrasting.

Wet painting is to paint the second layer before the previous layer of watercolor dries, so that the watercolor permeates and is beautiful and fresh.

(Actually, there are n kinds of watercolors. . The following links are more detailed)

Question 5: Watercolor Coloring 10 Watercolor is a unique painting with many techniques, but all of them serve for color modeling. How to color depends on the needs of modeling. On the basis of sketch, this place is unclear in a few words. Generally speaking, there are only three types: dry painting, wet painting and special techniques.

Question 6: How to brush the floor with watercolor? Watercolor can be washed off with water, no matter how long it takes, so you can't use watercolor. I recommend buying floor stickers at IKEA. Of course, if you are asking me how to brush the floor, please tell me.

Question 7: The coloring skills of watercolor painting. There are still many illustrators in Japanese illustrators who paint watercolors.

If you just want to draw an anime recommendation.

1 gouache is simple. Unless covered with thick paintings for many times, the color is not bright and easy to get dirty.

Watercolor water is difficult to grasp, but it is easy to produce results. The color is transparent and cool.

3. At the transition of water-melted colored lead, it is convenient to melt with water and faint, and the color is too light.

Markers require many colors, expensive skills and high convenience.

Propylene tin pigment has strong hiding power, fast drying and bright color.

There is a set of Japanese cartoonists' books on coloring in the world, 16. A set of 56 books is not thick.

Each book introduces several cartoonists who use a tool and books and have good drawing skills.

Question 8: How to color? What pigments can you use to buy black cardboard or ordinary black art paper?

If you have to paint the white paper black, stick the back of the paper on the flat first. (Paper installation)

Draw in black ink and cut it off.

Question 9: What are the two basic coloring methods of watercolor painting? In color painting, we should not only think about color, but also have certain rules, such as mastering brushwork, mastering color matching, mastering the ratio of pigment to water and so on. In gouache painting, we also need to have color skills, which is a way to express the color of the picture and a way to score. For the coloring of gouache, gouache has a strong hiding ability, but it can't be unscrupulously scribbled. It has its own coloring methods and steps.

First of all, consider dry painting and wet painting. In gouache painting, dry painting generally refers to the method of overlapping thick coatings. This method can be repeated, but it can't be finished at once. The performance object is full and profound, and it is also suitable for beginners to master.

This heavy picture, similar to the effect of oil painting, has a strong feeling. Wet painting is mainly based on thin painting, giving full play to the effect of watercolor infiltration, and the number of coloring should not be too much, even the white part can be left blank, which has the interest of watercolor wet flow.

Of course, it is also possible to thicken some parts, and the combination of dry and wet will enhance the expressive force.

Followed by juxtaposition and reset, juxtaposition means that the strokes are arranged side by side on the drawing paper, with less coloring times, and the color is first concentrated and then concentrated. For example, emphasize two-dimensional pictures. First, check the outline and structure with rough colored lines. When adding color, put the color on it side by side and press the line. Reset is a method of overlapping colors, which uses color points, color lines and color blocks for overlapping coloring. Mainly painting

It is a combination of resetting and juxtaposition to fully express the object.

Question 10: how to color and what pigment to use? Acrylic paint is a special plastic coloring pigment. The blending agent of acrylic paint is slightly corrosive to plastic, and will form a fusion layer with plastic when brushing, so the adhesion is good. Acrylic pigment for painting has poor adhesion, can't be integrated with the plastic surface, and is easy to peel off. Other things are worse. Gouache watercolors are all water-based pigments and don't soak at all. Oil painting colors or pigments cannot be used directly or soaked. If oil painting pigment is used, it can be colored on the surface with Dama varnish Bo Tu before coloring, and let stand overnight to form a corrosion fusion layer, which is combined with oil painting pigment. From the cost point of view, acrylic paint is a little more expensive, monochrome 10 yuan or so, and oil painting is a little cheaper but a lot of trouble. The effects of the two are also different. Acrylic pigments can be sprayed, and oil paintings can only be painted in pen and ink.
