I've been thinking about doing watercolors again. I did a ton of them
when I worked on my fairy book for Mixed Media, but since then I've
pretty exclusively used oils. (Although some of those have been really
watery, so maybe it halfway counts.)
So here are some inspirational watercolors, to get me excited about maybe painting again.
I love making my own cards. I've never seen this technique before, with the watercolor and then the metallic cutouts over it. They must use a special stamp and emboss, or maybe it's metallic paper glued on top? Very crafty. If I could figure out the technique, it would be sooo easy to make variations.
If you've never heard of Behance, it's an artists'
network where you can post your work, and I think you can also buy artists' work. I
have an account, but it's really a fan account so that I can check out
art I love. This is my favorite artist on Behance:
Sveta Dorosheva.
I love his/her (foreign name..? Boy for now.) art so much that his profile is on
my bookmarks bar. Here's one of his paintings, which I
think is ink and watercolor, although I honestly can't figure out which materials this person uses...
This one
has to be partly digital. But even
besides that fact, how can someone have this much control when painting
with watercolors?? And get colors this bright? Maybe it's a different
medium. Like gouache. Which I've never used, but it sounds really fun.
Just the word
gouache. Right?
