1, stand by. Prepare all tools, spread paper, and preferably fix it on the drawing board or table with transparent tape.
2. Draft. Type lightly with a pencil to outline the picture or physical shape to be depicted.
3. Color matching. Squeeze the pigment to be used into one cell of the palette, dip it in water with a medium brush on the principle that the pen will not drip (you can suck it on a rag), then dip it in the pigment and mix it evenly in another cell of the palette.
4. color. Gently daub the adjusted watercolor on the painting. After blow-drying or blow-drying, you can modulate a slightly heavier color of the same color system and paint it for the second time. Pay attention to leave some areas, don't fill them up like the first time.
5. Continue to color. One color is ready, and then the next one, the method is the same as before.
6, overall observation, fine-tuning the unsatisfactory place.
In watercolor painting, the amount of water can directly affect the transparency and penetration of color, and the speed of brush strokes makes the picture have different fluency and rhythm changes. Jade players say "Jade is more precious than ornament". If the water content of watercolor painting is well mastered, the picture will have a beautiful jade-like "moist" feeling, which will make the human body feel the nourishment, charm and natural aura of water.
Because the pigment of watercolor painting does not contain powder, it is easy to produce transparent and bright effects when mixed with water. But it is extremely sensitive and uncertain. Therefore, in the process of paving, it is not allowed to overlap and alter too much, otherwise the picture will appear dull and stagnant, thus weakening the hearty characteristics and charm of watercolor painting itself. In the process of watercolor painting, it is best not to mix some powdery pigments, and usually only white powder is used to extract some special parts such as highlights. Generally, powder pigment is not put in the pigment box, but white pigment with watercolor nature is used.
Watercolor painting is very particular about leaving white space. The so-called "white" of watercolor painting is to consciously leave a certain amount of white space in the process of coloring, so that the whole picture appears breathable, bright and ethereal. This is similar to the truth when China's painting and calligraphy art pays attention to ink black.
