Blue Tit Watercolor Painting: step by step

in #art7 years ago

Hey Everybody! 🐦

I've finished this just now! An art trade with my friend. He asked for a blue tit drawing in return for what he drew for me.

The Artwork

Here it is!

Sevilla 2017

Materials: Fabriano 9" x 12", 200gsm paper, Simbalion 36 colors watercolor, paint brush small and medium, black pen, bowl with water

The Process

Before anything, we should keep in mind the following drawing/painting techniques we can apply:

  • Light to dark technique
  • One by one strokes to create texture
  • Layering colors to create volume (for eyes)
  • Washing technique (adding water to paint and spreading)
  • Inking (to contrast darkest shades)

We start with light colors, be careful of putting too much water.

I put yellow, orange, blue and violet on the eyes leaving out a white spot. For the shine.

Then I ink the eyes and some of the feathers
