There are various ways of applying
watercolour paint to produce different effects which help towards a creative
masterpiece. if you have ever painted in oil you will be aware that you start
your painting using the darkest colours first and build on them using the
lighter colours. This is totally opposite to working in watercolour. When
watercolour painting you start by using your lightest colours first so any
white showing through your finished watercolour painting is actually the colour of the paper
not paint.
The paper being used for your
watercolour painting must be of good quality with varying degrees of texture
depending on the type and mood of painting you wish to paint. Using the correct
choice of paper can have a dramatic effect on the final outcome of the finished painting.
Watercolour paper must be chosen to suite the type of scene you want to paint.
The usual choice is Rough pressed, Hot pressed or Cold pressed. You can
also choose various sizes and weights of the paper which allow different water
absorbance levels. The lighter papers usually require stretching before
use otherwise it will wrinkle when the watercolour paints are applied.
