Скачать или смотреть Couple on Bench | Watercolor Painting Process #21

Watch how I paint this couple sitting on a bench. The image is heavy in lighter values, with only a few darker areas on the couple's heads and the man's coat. Not only does this overwhelming brightness give the impression of a bright day outdoors, but it also serves to focalize the darker areas of interest through juxtaposition, instantly positioning the couple as the picture's center of interest.

In watercolor painting, the paper we use is incredibly important. It must be thick enough to resist buckling against the water. Different and irregular textures can also help create lively works. For example, in this picture, I used handmade watercolor paper. In contrast to machine-made paper, each handmade sheet feels unique. Experimenting with different kinds of paper and seeing how the watercolor paint reacts can be a great way to find new and interesting textures and challenges.

Let me know what you think of this week's image.
