I've never been that fond of watercolour painting but since I hit college I've found it increadibly fun to do, but I gotta admit it's hard not using white or black paints, all has to be in pure colour so you have to learn the ways of darking colours without black.. For instance to darken Orange you add blue (darken blue by adding orange), to darken red add green (darken green by addin red) etc.. to replace the effects of white to colour you have to use the white of the paper to tint (basically more watery and less paint on the brush), or if that fails use white gauche which makes the colour milky due to the presence of chalk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well here's some of my object drawings, based on senses so the objects are pretty peculiar, only my A4 paintings cus my scanner is too small for my larger paintings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They order first to last.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A melon slice, for taste. one of my first in college.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a party toy thingie, that makes a noise when you blow in it. Hearing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A cute, soft, bean-bag toy mouse. aww, for touch cus its really soft and nice to feel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A tiny football toy, for touch as its soft and squidgy. probably to scale :S.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A rattler, makes the same noise as a rattle snake, for noise, hard to do cus my tutor kept sending me out for being too loud. had to re-make the colours a few times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brought nothing in this lesson so I had to use what I had, a brush, you touch it dun ya.. hahah. :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Self painting, pulling a cocky look in a mirror. only under spend an hour on it. Sight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW, we're not allowed to draw anything out before hand to plan out were everything is going to be, it's all down to guessing and seeing whats in front of you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well this is a media discussion page so what do you think so far? Never really used water colours before, always stuck to acrylic with cartoony paintings, so I'm pretty stunned that I've taken to it so well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RANDOME STUFF

A quick sketch, thought it looked ok. :? very sketchy and rushed but good all the same...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some photos of a mate, placed to create a weird effect :P .

nice water colour is one of my non comp fav materials even if my art courseowkr does seem to lack use of it now i think of it, but ah well very nice

the paint brush is by far the best. Like them all though.

Would of put this in my first post but I am only glacning at this whenever i get a chance between xmas gift wrapping (man i am organised for once even if the paper ribbons name tags and bows are driving me mad)

These are nice :D. Lol, even if my own paintings suck, i can still enjoy other people's :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A quick painting of myself practicing with tones (pullin a face), with a colour drawing of a passport photo (just started tho :?).. was rushed in places cus we had until the end of lesson to finish, didn't wanna stick around :D .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first watercolour painting of someone I've ever done so I hope it looks allright, I'd love to know im improving. suppose to be very loose btw :).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

oh and if anyone else has any watercolour paintings or any of the sort, please post cus I'd love to see em.

comments are welcome, any?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

poor terley :cry:

Lol dude you own, i bet your drawing skills help your pixel sigs a lot eh?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW here is that sig you asked for, i won't post it on my other forum cos its turned into a football / My Little Pony debate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bit of a weird BG, i was trying something new out. Use it or don't use it upto you, just glad i had something to do.

oh thx man, lil too big tho, gotta be 300x150 max.

nice job on the paintbrush. the glare on it is very well made. :wink:

The brush piece is my favoriteof all the nice work, the metal looks very realistic and overall it's a great pic to look at. I have tried water colors many times and to me it's a very hard medium to use which makes your pieces even better to look at.

I really like the brush, certainly the best out of the lot. Watercolour = Fun

Wow, you really are a well rounded artist. I like the brush one the best.

so thats wot the great terley looks like! mwahahaha....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sorry. those are very good, the black part on the self portrait makes the piece!

Looks really nice Terley, thanks for the little waterpainting lesson also, never knew that about it.

Your self-portrait looks somewhat cross-eyed for some reason, and the black thing on the watermelon looks odd.

yeah I know I look a bit cross eyed there, just probably down to guessing, as I've mentioned we're not alowed to plan anything out before hand litterally just painting as we see, no pencil involved at all. The black thing on the watermelon is a seed, kinda bled a bit into the rest of the painting because it basically working wet into wet, shoulda let it dry a bit before putting a black spot on it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw your not even allowed to use black paint because in real life black doesn't exist, what you see is a dark tone, or a man-made colour from dark browns and blues. Same for white, basically just a tint made from chalk from what I've been told..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thx for the comments, glad to see im on the right tracks.. On the record (I've probably said this before) These are the only water colour paintings I've ever done, so any mistakes would be down to just inexperience.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

will post some more soon, I fancy doing a better self portrait cus that was painting was on a tiny scale (bout the size of a CD).. And I wanna try my hand at doing tricky like a glass of water or something.

hehe looks hawt! :lol:
