Watercolor Painting Finished Yellow Clematis

 

 

Titled:  Golden Beauty

 

~Learn to See a bigger potential in different subjects no matter how small, like an Artists once said, Learn to  look at your subject with an different perspective learn to play with angles, and extract their essence.

For this Golden Beauty, the details where not of interest, but the white spaces in between to create a bounce effect or 3d effect on the plant, also the wet in to wet washes in the  fore background with different branches pulled out of it. Playing also with contrast leaving the whites to stand out in the painting.

The possibilities are endless using a clematis plant as an example, play with angles and shadows, this might just be the beginning of a new series.

Watercolor painting work in progress…

 

Clematis

Surprisingly the background is pulled out and what appears to be another Clematis is in fact just watercolor dropped simultaneously to do some form and shapes, working intuitively rather than, gives more room to work on, even on a busy background as this. 

The emphasis as well, was the use of masking fluid, which should be used more often. The first time the medium was used, was frustrating, because it ruined the brush, even cheap brushes, is absolutely no fun to see them ruined, not to mention saves your time.

Good rule of thumb before applying the masking fluid is to wet the brush in to a little painters soap which gives it a seal or coat as well as conditions your brush, This  saves the fluid from sticking to the  brush, make sure just to condition the brush with the painters soap or semi moist. Hope it gives you great results in your art work.

The picture is depicting where the masking fluid was need it, from thick to thin layers and the  brush strokes in the paper. The Watercolor Painting is drying at the moment.
