So this weekend I have been playing with watercolor. It has been FOREVER since I painted with watercolors, and I was a little nervous when I started, but after I started I remembered exactly why I love them. With water colors you just have to go with the flow, and let things happen sometimes. One thing that I have always loved are watercolor triads. Old masters is my favorite, it consists of paynes gray, yellow ochre, and burnt sienna. LOVE IT! Anyways, here is what I have done so far, it is still a work in progress. I need to detail it, and build up some of the colors (especially in the skin area). But, here it is so far.
Here is a closer view of the face and wings.
As far as daily inspiration I found an awesome watercolor artist this week, Paul Bonner. The way that he paints is amazing! I am going to have to figure out how he gets so much depth and detail into his work. So awesome. Here is a link to his
website. Paul Bonner does a tutorial on
here it is pretty interesting. I am definitely going to have to try some of his techniques.
