This beautiful paddle wheeler was parked on the river at one of the local parks for several weeks during the summer, offering brunch and dinner tours. Picturesque as could be!
Poured watercolor technique uses
only the primary colors. It's complicated to explain clearly in print,
so here is a demo by Linda Baker.
A detailed drawing is gradually masked off in stages, beginning with
the lightest values, and the masking is followed by pouring red, yellow
and blue liquid mixtures over the work surface allowing the paint to mix
naturally. Excess paint is poured off and the piece allowed to dry
completely before the next darkest value is masked off, and the process
is repeated until desired depth of value is achieved. The masking is
then peeled away and any fine details are done with traditional brush
techniques. It's a surprising and quite unpredictable process, a bit
tedious (a painting can take anywhere from 3-6 days), but it has been
terrifically rewarding and has resulted in some of my favorite pieces.
Please note, due to variations amongst computer monitors,actual colors may vary slightly from what appears on your screen.
