DAC MM Jan. & Feb., 2010

This is an unfinished watercolor painting from another class.  This could be finished as a watercolor or as a mixed media.
This is the painting demonstrated in class.  This was done in two layers.  I wet the paper and dropped in yellow and gray on the bird and on parts of the background.  I also added orange to the beak and the reflection.  After that was dry I wet the paper around the swan.  This paper does not life easily so the paint won't lift when I wet it again.  I mix a very dark green and a medium green and a yellow green.  I drip these colors around the swan adding them in a horizontal direction so it will look like water.  I will add a bit more with watercolor and ink in the next class before we start the colored pencil.
