Midnight Watercolors

Creating in watercolors, the  feeling of a black inky depth of twilight.

The chilling vast depth of indigo space.

 

 

 

Tips for my Watercolor Painting

 

  • its all about Contrast, a strong dark needs a strong light
  • toothbrush splatter for the fine spray is handy
  • wooden skewer was used for the ‘line -work’
  • the tree shape was placed just Off center
  • a high ratio of white was used vs the permanent rose
  • I actually did several at a time, this, is my Normal way to work
  • this approach, lessens by about ….. 90%  the dreaded  fiddling
  • I kept the whole thing – Fun     (it is Silly Saturday!)

The act of creation, in any media is a fascinating and magical process. I simply love to create. Expressing in color, line, tone, texture - as if, they were words upon a page. Creating a uniquely me, interpretation. Enjoy More of my "one-of-a-kind" expressive art at society6.com/debiriley and, redbubble.com/people/debijriley/shop

  1. I agree….doing several paintings or passes at something cuts down that fiddling and loosens up not only the painting hand but your attitude as well. I notice when I do that I don’t treat what I am working on as “precious”, so freeing! I have never thought of using a skewer for those fine lines, what a cool idea!

    1. don’t let LL and her pet gollum, hear you say, “preciousss” !! you’ll be hearing from the little guy.
      and, yes! Skewers… they are a magic tool. so fine, better than a brush many times 🙂 cheaper too, even better!
