This watercolour exercise is all about letting go and loosening up. There are no mistakes. Whatever the paint does….let it happen, and most importantly allow yourself to PLAY PLAY PLAY…….
All the white areas are DRY WHITE PAPER……(In some areas I have added some permanent white gouache where the watercolour and gouache bleed).
I am allowing the paint to bleed and do its own thing where it touches a wet area……
The strong dark I have added in this next frame is a mix of BURNT SIENNA AND PRUSSIAN BLUE – I don’t use black.
In this frame I have scraped out some of the dark with a knife to add energy. All white areas continue to be DRY WHITE PAPER.
Note that I am moving colours around the image to produce a sense of rhythm.
The most important thing is to have FUN…..and to PLAY a little every day.
For those of you who have been waiting to see the video we shot in December….you will have a little longer to wait…..
In doing this filming, I learned a great deal and will now be far better equipped to put some videos together…..watch this space:)
