How about a watercolour still life? Good question and the one I was asked for this weeks get pushed challenge. Well I don’t find painting very therapeutic and it is definitely a challenge for me but having a month of doing the World watercolour month my confidence has grown.
So what have I learnt?
Good quality paint, paper and brushes make a difference. Don’t rush. Taking a photograph helps as you can see the shadows. Listen to the tutorial - they tell you things for a reason. Colour washing the background lifts the colours of the subject. Shadows help give an extra dimension. A little bit of spit on a dry brush helps lift colour when it has dried!!!
Lower expectations for better results.
Lol for your last tip :)
