What are the painting methods and steps of watercolor painting? What are the brush techniques of watercolor painting?

watercolor painting pays attention to certain painting steps. If the steps are wrong, you can't paint a good watercolor. Let's take a look at a step of watercolor painting:

(1) It is very important to observe and understand the object before painting. On the basis of a comprehensive and full understanding of the object, we should be "confident" before painting.

(2) Start the manuscript with a pencil, draw the general position and outline, and pay attention to the composition, the primary and secondary relationship of the picture and the general light and shade relationship, so as to lay a good foundation for the next color modeling.

(3) After the outline is drawn, it begins to be painted in general colors. It is required that the basic tone and background of the object should be paved with large color blocks from the overall point of view, and we should always pay attention to the correctness of the basic tone and the correctness of the general contrast between light and shade. Be bold with your pen and start with a light color. On the basis of general coloring, the next step is to enter the work of in-depth understanding and performance, where we can't grasp the local and don't let go. Compare with the overall relationship. Grasp the key parts of the light and dark structure, and strengthen the expressive force of the picture and the appeal of the color. In the treatment of backlight and light-receiving surface, the color should be thin and the water should be enough. In the deepest part of the painting or in part of the processing, the water content of color matching should be less, and the dry painting method is the main method.

(4) Delicate that this is the last stage of work, and some of them will be dealt with emphatically. Instead of doing general work, we should be cautious in using and putting pen to paper, check the overall effect, correct problems in time when found, and strengthen what should be strengthened and weaken what should be weakened. But for individual places, under the premise of not affecting the overall effect, in order to maintain the unique charm of watercolor painting, try to change it as little as possible or not. Make it fully reflect the characteristics of watercolor painting. In short, we should pay attention to refining the trade-offs, not treating them equally, and fully expressing the objects, so that this work can be completed.

the technique of using a pen in watercolor painting

Watercolor painting has many similarities with Chinese ink painting techniques, and so does using a pen. First of all, the pen should be large, not small. You can't use tiny strokes to describe it little by little, which makes it easy to draw trivialities. Only in local tiny places, you can use a small pen to make detailed descriptions, and the pen can be held in the lower half of the brush near the pen head. If painting a large area of color blocks, the sky, the ground, etc. are all suitable for painting in large sums, and the pen should not be too low, and should be held in the upper part of the brush. Watercolor painting not only pays attention to the light and dark structure, but also pays special attention to the application of water, which makes use of the mutual infiltration of water and color to give people a comfortable and elegant feeling. There are many ways to use the pen in watercolor painting, and the following are commonly used;

1. To brush a large area of color blocks, you need to use a wide flat pen with good water absorption to coat the paper horizontally from top to bottom, so that the colors of the second pen and the first pen overlap a little. Use a long, light, steady and careful pen when painting.

2. Generally, the side edge is used for pasting, and it is full of water color, with a clear view of the structure, and a few strokes are gently pasted, so as to be rich in color, and the pen is empty and solid.

3. The dragging pen is used to draw branches, hair features and so on.

4. Click with a pen tip or pen belly, and press out dots with different sizes and shapes on the screen. Pay attention to the density change when clicking. Generally used to point leaves, etc.

5. The water color of the broom pen is sucked dry, so that the pen tip is scattered, so that the side of the pen can contact the paper head, and the action should be brisk, so that the required rough effect can be achieved. Suitable for painting dead stones, dead trees and animal fur. 6. Washing is called "washing method" in watercolor painting. Wash the pen and blot it dry. When the picture is not dry, blot out the water and color of the washed part. This is called wet washing. After the work is finished, in order to correct all kinds of defects, it is called dry cleaning. These methods are suitable for expressing smoke, steam, high light and running water.

7. scrape lines with a pen or knife. If deep thread is needed, scrape it with a pen while it is wet. If you need to draw light lines on dark colors, you must scrape them with a knife or pen when the background color is about to dry. This method is suitable for twigs and weeds with light or dark colors.

Characteristics of watercolor painting:

Watercolor painting is a kind of painting that is rendered and depicted on drawing paper with water mixed with water pigment. It has the characteristics of strong transparency, giving people a feeling of elegance and lightness. Therefore, watercolor painting pays special attention to the mastery of water and time, and the water is less dry and more mixed. Therefore, it depends on the season, weather and specific objects. At the same time, the use of water is also inseparable from the grasp of time. Generally, water should be used for painting large flat surfaces and backgrounds, while glass porcelain and objects with delicate surfaces should be used less. Watercolor painting, because of its simple and simple form, close to China's ink painting techniques, and organic integration with Chinese traditional painting, has become one of the best painting types for learning color for many years.
