🎨 Fly away/watercolor portrait/ step by step 👣

in #art6 years ago (edited)

For those who are following me know that I usually work on Fabriano paper, kind I know well how will react with color and water.
This autumn I came across some sale of Canson papers in block and since the price was ok I took two of them. My experience taught me if I see something good and not expensive buy more, because sometimes I came across some things and they turn out to be great and when I go back to buy more, they are already gone..
Let's say I have ''hamster'' syndrome of collecting materials for work :)

Since the paper was new to me I was not in a rush with finishing this portrait. Waited longer for color to dry completely to see final result and not to be surprised with outcome of work.
Started with pencil drawing as usual when the portrait work is about..
At first idea was to add some trees in the back, but during the work I decided to move them.

At start I thought about background and doing it with sea sponge technique I showed here

just to show how it can be used in this way

Must say this Canson paper has very nice surface and grains. Also size I choose quite good for some smaller works.
I recommend it sincerely for those who are in watercolor art.

Код мене лекције из криптовалута, код тебе лекције сликања, @jungwatercolor :)

Хвала за одличну презентацију још једног дела.

:) hvala puno @lighteye, I evo i mene na Sola, sad gledam sta ima tamo :)

Твоје би слике тамо сигурно добро ишле, само је питање колико ће СОЛ вредети у почетку, @jungwatercolor :)

Pa iskreno, malo sam zbunjena interfejsom cak sam nekog nehotice i flegovala pa povukla odma :) Pa sad, koliko god da vredi sol u pocetku obzirom da nista ne ulazem? ako sam dobro shvatila, sve je ok. Ionako imam proizvod, citaj slike a u svakom slucaju mi je u interesu da ih vidi sto vise ljudi a ne da moram nekome da placam reklame ili ono lopovsko bustovanje na fb. I jos jedna stvar, sve ovo mi je uzasno interesantno posto sam radoznala po prirodi i volim da ucim.

very nice portrait!

So beautiful ,i like it :-)
