Watercolor on paper

Watercolor is a paint that is mixed with water and is used to create pictures, or images that have been done with this type of paint. There are many techniques that can be used in realizing the use of watercolor to show a unique effect.
The painting I created is using watercolor with basic techniques such as wet on wet, wet on dry, dry on wet and dry on dry. At The Green Frog's artwork, I use a number of other techniques such as the salts to create the special effects.
There are a few steps I'll show you:
First:-
provide your drawing and coloring equipment and tools
Second:-
draw a subject using a 2B pencil
Third:-
Using the watercolor method, the part that needs to be colored is the subject that is in the back or subjects that are far from the main subject.
To produce an exclusive effect on the surface of a distant subject, salt solution is applied to the surface of the paper before sweeping the colors. The salt solution used is similar to wet on wet technique.
Fourth:-
Color the subject with a soft color as a base.
wait until the color on the surface of the paper is dry.
Fifth:-
Color the main subject surface with a soft color coinciding with the light position.
Sixth:-
using fine salts.
sprinkle salt on the surface color is still wet to create a texture effect.
sprinkle a little salt on the surface you want to create the texture
This is one of the effect of salt
seventh:-
detail each layer by layer.
Eighth:-
Refine the texture on the main subject
detail each edge of the subject area
i hope this watercolor technique can help you improve your skills on painting...
