| Local color |
 |
| I briefly demonstrated the beginning of adding the white when starting on a local color project. |
 |
| Value Study |
 |
| Color added and the beginning of the white. |
 |
| Demonstrated the start of adding details. I used darks such as dark brown and dark red. |
 |
| I have lifted and moved more areas. There is some refining to do, but this is getting close. |
 |
| This is after the first pour, the second round of masking has been added. |
 |
| This is after the second pour, right before I did the third round of masking. |
 |
| This is after the third pour and the masking has been removed. |
 |
| I have added some darks in the trees and on the horse. I have added some grass areas. |
 |
| Rubber cement resist texture, step 1, watercolor. Can be done with acrylic and gouache as well. |
 |
| Rubber cement resist texture, step 2, watercolor. Can be done with acrylic and gouache as well. |
 |
| Rubber cement resist texture, step 3, watercolor. This is after the 3rd pass of rubber cement and paint. Here I decide to add more or remove the rubber cement. |
 |
| I have added more colored pencil to this watercolor under painting (the surface is Stonehenge paper). |
 |
| The Transparent Watercolor Ground and Clear Gesso on plexi (one on each side) with watercolor on one side and colored pencil on the other. I have added the watercolor to the back and added another layer of shading to the skin. I work gently with the pencil and mostly on the side. |
 |
| This is the same process from another class. Both need more work of course. |
 |
| This is an example of our next project. We will do a different subject matter. We will do alcohol inks on translucent yupo and then add a clear gesso (Liquitex) and work in colored pencil on top. |
 |
| This is a similar example, just not as far along as the first. |
 |
| Local color. This was demonstrated in class. I mixed a green, dampened the paper, and painted the green, flat. |
 |
| Value Study. This was demonstrated in class. I mixed a green, grayed down (could have used a gray or a color), dampened the paper inside the pepper shape, and painted the pepper paying attention to the values. I painted a value study. |
 |
| This is the local color of the bud I had done at home before class. |
 |
| This was demonstrated in class - I started adding some highlights with titanium white. |
 |
| This is the value study in gray of the pepper I had done at home before class. |
 |
| This was demonstrated in class - I mixed green and painted the green over the value study. I then used titanium white to begin reinforcing highlights. |
 |
| Mixed a green with hansa yellow medium, phthalo blue, and a little naphthol red light. I dampened the paper and painted the green flat. |
 |
| I used titanium white (from the bottle and thinned with water) to start adding in the light areas. |
 |
| Mixed green using the previous colors and made some darker versions with black. Glazed hansa yellow medium in some areas |
 |
Mixed the previous colors to make a brown and a dark green gray. Used it to add details and darks around the stem. Used TW to add and strengthen highlights.
|
 |
| The value study. I mixed a gray using the colors I plan to use on the flower. I could also mix a gray with black and white. I could also use a color for the value study. |
 |
| I glazed the color over the flower part (rose madder quinacridone with a little ultramarine blue) and made a yellow green and a blue green for the green parts of the plant (ultramarine blue and hansa yellow light). |
 |
| I used titanium white from thick to watered down a bit to add highlights, details, make corrections, and adjust the values. |
 |
| Used the 3 colors used previously and white to make various reds and greens to further shift the values and to add details. |
 |
| I added some detail and dark values to the horse and corrected some issues (and made some new ones that need correcting...). I added shadow to the snow and texture and vegetation to the background woods area. I then used white gouache to fix and change a few areas on the horse and the background. |
 |
| This is a yupo example from another class. I used it to show how to add darks back in, by dabbing/pouncing them in. I also changed the background with the blue and some of the blue now needs to be added to the left side. |
 |
| This is a half sheet 300 lb. paper taped to a board to keep it flat. I transferred the drawing and masked the fish as well as used masking fluid to make some water texture marks. I rubbed the masking on small spots on two of the fish to allow dark to get through to make spots on the fish. I then poured paint. I mixed 2 greens, 2 blues, and a yellow. I also splattered some paint as well. The next step is to mask again before a second pouring. |
 |
| I added more dark and more light on the dragonfly with the pens. Values, values, values. |
 |
| This is the second pass of rubber cement and watercolor. |
 |
| This started with an under painting in watercolor. I have worked on the top section with colored pencil (scarlet lake, crimson, pomegranate, canary yellow, white, indigo) |
 |
| This is the Plexiglas project. The front has Liquitex Clear Gesso (there is a small L in the corner). The back has Daniel Smith Transparent Watercolor Ground. To apply the grounds/gesso I lightly sanded the plexi on both sides. I wiped off the dust and used a brush to apply a thin layer of the ground/gesso. A foam roller could also be used. I let them dry for 72 hours (24 will work, 72 is better). To start, I traced the drawing with pencil (I placed the drawing under the plexi with the Liquitex side facing up and traced with a #2 pencil). I have used Sienna Brown and barely started shading the shadowed areas. I added some white in the highlight areas as well. |
 |
| I added a little more ink to this piece. |
 |
| I finished adding the blue to the background. I worked on some of the buds and leaves, i still have some to finish of course. |
 |
| I added more watercolor pencil to the ornament on the left. I added more colored pencil over the watercolor on the ornament on the right. |
 |
| I added a little more colored pencil to the ornament on the left. |
 |
| I have added quite a bit more colored pencil to her face and hair. There is more work to be done, some refining and adding of more values and color. |
 |
| This is a piece also on plexi done as a demo in a workshop. it is a bit further along than the one we have done. I have a bit more to do, but it is close to complete. I used the same process that we did in class. |
 |
| This is a piece started on yupo. First I added color to the yupo and allowed it to dry. Then I transferred the drawing with white transfer paper. I used a brush with water and a paper towel to remove some of the color to create values and form. I added some color back in some places. the background especially needs work and the whole piece needs refinement. |
 |
| This is yupo with the color I applied in class. |
 |
| Transferred drawing, masking to save the whites, and splattered masking for snow (applied with a toothbrush). After the masking dried I did a pass of blue-gray wash |
 |
| I did 2 more passes of blue-gray. Then I painted the horse and started adding some brown and trees in the background. This is enough for the masking to be removed. |
 |
| I have removed the masking. Lots more work is needed. |
 |
| This is watercolor on yupo. I applied a dark blue and rose to the yupo and allowed it to dry. I did a medium dark valued color. Then I transferred the drawing with white transfer paper. Next I used a damp brush and paper towel to start removing some of the color to create values and form. I added some pink to the glasses. There is still a lot to do, but it is a good start (need to finish the face so it does not look freaky...). I will demo more in class. |
