这是我最新的水彩在纸上,我确实把它漆成双年展的水彩来在加拿大艺术家联合会在格兰维尔岛(温哥华)。我有一些指导方针,遵循:大小必须19×27这是宜家的大小Ribba帧,大多数艺术家将使用这架所以展览看起来更均匀。这幅画已被诬陷,这些天我真的喜欢上我的水彩画在董事会和清漆他们但大多数水彩社会和展览不会接受浸漆或安装水彩画。
我使用一个有限的调色板,黄柠檬和黄色赭石,烧棕土,鲜绿色的绿、深蓝色、钴绿松石光,永久Alazarin深红色和佩恩灰色。与那些颜色我可以混合一个数组的绿色、蓝色和棕色色调,会使大部分的图片。
我最喜欢的刷是一个角平刷,因为我发现这是非常多才多艺。我也会用一个小刷子等细节的细小分支,一个大型平刷,洗像树木树干大绘画的第一层。
最后,我将使用我的旧硬刷擦洗掉漆,它是一个平刷,我确实切短使它非常僵硬。
一旦我有我画在纸上(拱门140磅,热压机),我先保留少数白人与液体固定架。然后我开始画背景周围的树木,从淡黄色到深色绿叶蔬菜。我也画了几片叶子在前面的树干。
工作一段时间刷背景看着我的参考图像复制的音调黄、绿、褐色和蓝色的。
在接下来的步骤中,我应用液体固定架在叶子上我画,位于前面的树干。然后我将第一次洗在树上的树干。
然后我工作在树皮的树木,渲染纹理的scrumbling油漆。
我去除液体固定架,现在将油漆的细小分支
对于我来说,下一步是软化边缘周围的液体固定架区域。这些地区往往会很难有不自然的边缘。我软化的大多数人与我的硬笔刷和边缘有点水
我保留一些边缘锋利的下部的画来表示光照耀在河里的水。

This is my latest watercolor on paper, I did paint it for the watercolor biennale coming up at the Federation of Canadian Artists in Granville Island ( Vancouver ). I had a few guidelines to follow : the size had to be 19 x 27 which is the size of the IKEA Ribba frame, most artists will use that frame so the exhibition looks more uniform. The painting had to be framed, these days I really like to mount my watercolors on board and varnish them but well, most watercolor societies and exhibitions won’t accept varnished or mounted watercolors.
I am using a limited palette, Yellow Lemon and Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Viridian green, Ultramarine blue, Cobalt Turquoise light, Permanent Alazarin Crimson and Paynes grey. With those colors I can mix an array of green, blue, and brown tones that will make most of the picture.
My favorite brush is an angular flat brush as I find it very versatile. I will also use a small brush for details like tiny branches, a large flat brush for larger washes like the trees trunk first layer of painting.
Finally I will use my old stiff brush for scrubbing off paint, it is a flat brush that i did cut shorter to make it very stiff.
Once I have my drawing on the paper ( Arches 140 lb, hot press), I start by reserving a few whites with liquid frisket. I then start painting the background around the trees, starting from light yellow to darker greens. I also paint the few leaves in front of the trunks.
Working one section at a time I paint the background looking at my reference picture reproducing the tones of yellow, green, browns and the blue.
For the next step, I apply liquid frisket on the leaves I painted that are located in front of the tree trunks. Then I am applying a first wash on the trees trunks.
I then work on the bark of the trees, rendering the textures by scrumbling the paint.
I am removing the liquid frisket, and will now paint the tiny branches
The next step for me is to soften the edges that were around the liquid frisket areas. Those areas will often have very hard unnatural edges. I soften most of those edges with my stiff brush and a bit of water
I am keeping some edges very sharp on the lower part of the painting to represent the light shining on the river water.
