RE: [Watercolor] - #designacharacter Contest / Sexy Hadès [FR/EN]
Great work with the values of light and shadow, was even more impressive with the watercolor texture and character expression! Kudos oreillechan! :)
Thank you so much :D I've spent about 3 hours on this one, I'm proud of it.
Watercolour contrasts work in two ways: first, with good quality pigments, and then, with patience, by appliying layer by layer to intensify the blacks, without diluting the lower layer.
On this paper (which is very slightly hydrophobic when dry), I can re-wet a previously painted area to homogenize the pigments (and the contours of the area become more pigmented). Difficult to manage at first, but with practice, it's very helpful.
