Most
professional artists use either acrylics or oils, while watercolors
are widely considered to be "for novices." This is a common
prejudice. The fact that a majority of painters start their career
with watercolors doesn't mean you can't use them to create beautiful
wall art paintings. Here are some curious watercolor tricks that will
help you diversify your painting manner.
1.
Splashing
As
the name suggests, this technique involves splashing the paint onto
the surface by knocking a loaded brush against a finger or other
tough object to produce distinct droplets on the paper or canvas. The
size of the droplets depends on the size of the brush itself, the
amount of water mixed into the paint and the distance to the easel.
Another way to use this technique is to splash water onto a painted
surface with a clean wet brush in order to dissolve the paint and
create a washed effect.
2.
Spattering
This
is a very similar technique, though it is performed in a slightly
different way. Instead of simply splashing the paint, you need to rub
the bristles of the brush with your thumb or a palette knife to
propel dispersed droplets onto the surface. In this case, the
droplets will be much smaller. Spattering often comes in handy when
you need to imitate the texture of sand, falling snowflakes or rain.
3.
Stippling
When
you stipple, you dip the brush into the paint and dab the tip of its
bristles onto the surface. This allows you to create a very
interesting effect that can add a lot of versatility to your
painting. Mind that the brush should be stiff enough otherwise it
will smear the paint and prevent you from achieving the desired
texture.
Hopefully,
you'll find these painting styles useful and amusing. Watercolor
painting can be just as rewarding as any other type of
Handmade
oil painting china. You simply need to find your own path,
your own style that works best for you. Don't give up if you can't
seem to grasp it at once. Skills will come with practice. Just be
patient and keep trying, and one day you'll definitely create
something you will be proud of.
