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. |
