Landscape Watercolor Painting

You can't explain clearly. You'd better read a book or take an interest class. It would be better to experience it personally. Dry painting is a multi-layer painting method. Using the method of layer coating to color the dry background color does not require penetration effect, and it can be easily colored repeatedly, which is easier to master and suitable for beginners to practice. Positive expression, clear physical structure and rich color levels are the specialties of dry painting. The dry painting method can not only write articles on the word "dry", but also make people feel wet with water, avoiding the problem of dryness and boredom. Dry coating method can be layered coating, color masking, color collection, dry pen and other specific methods. ① Layer coating method: that is, dry overlapping method, that is, painting is done after coloring is dry, and overlapping colors layer by layer represent objects. There are different levels of coloring in the picture, some places can be done at once, and some places need to be done twice, three times or even more, but it is not advisable to count too many times to avoid losing the transparency of color. It can not be ignored that the layers of paint overlap after work, so as to predict the mixing effect of revealing the background color in advance. (2) Masking: In fact, it is also a dry superposition method, and the masking area is larger. For example, if several colors in the picture are not uniform enough, you need to mask the colors once to make them uniform. If a piece of color is too warm, a layer of cool color will change its cold and warm properties. The color of the cover should be bright Bo Tu, and it should be re-paved. Generally don't write back, otherwise the color will be dirty with the background color. This method is often used in the process of coloring and the final adjustment of the picture. (3) color matching: dry color matching means that adjacent colors are painted from their sides after drying, and there is no infiltration between color blocks, and each color itself can also be wet painted to increase variation. This method is characterized by clear outline and bright colors. 4 dry pen: the pen has less water and more colors, and it is easy to fly white; Drawing quickly on rough paper full of water will also produce flying white. The method of dry pen is often used to show the effect of flash or softness. Wet painting can be divided into wet stacking and wet color collection. (1) Wet stacking: wet or partially brush the drawing paper, color it at the end of drying, and color it at the end of drying to stack colors. Proper control of moisture and time will make the effect naturally mellow. Showing the rainy and foggy atmosphere and moist interest is its specialty, which is beyond the reach of some paintings. (2) Wet color matching: this method is often used for color matching near the end of drying, with water oozing, blurred boundaries and gradual transition to soft colors. When collecting color, the water list should be used evenly, otherwise the water will rush to less places, which will easily lead to unnecessary water stains. Watercolor painting is mostly a combination of dry painting and wet painting. The picture with wet painting as the main part is dry painting, and the picture with dry painting as the main part also has wet painting. The combination of dry and wet painting is expressive, dense and dry, and interesting. 2. The mastery of moisture The application and mastery of moisture is one of the key points of watercolor techniques. Water has the characteristics of infiltration, flow and evaporation in the picture, so you should be familiar with "water-based" when painting watercolors. Giving full play to the role of water is an important factor in watercolor painting. To master moisture, we should pay attention to time, air humidity and water absorption of drawing paper. ① Time problem: We should grasp the time of wet coating. If the colors overlap too early and too wet, it is easy to lose their proper shape. If it is too late, the background color will dry, watercolor will not penetrate easily, and the connection will be stiff. Generally, when overlapping colors, the water content of the pen should be less and the colors should be more, which is convenient to grasp the modeling and make it penetrate. If the overlapping color is light, wait until the background color is slightly dry before applying. (2) The dryness and humidity of the air: You can realize that water dries slowly indoors and evaporates more slowly when painting in wet, rainy and foggy weather outdoors. In this case, draw less water; In a dry climate, water evaporates quickly, so use more water to speed up the painting of color matching. ③ Water absorption degree of drawing paper: Water consumption should be determined according to the water absorption speed of paper. When the water absorption is slow, the water can be less; When the paper is soft and absorbs water quickly, it needs to increase the amount of water. In addition, large-scale rendering of halo colors, such as sky, ground, still life, people background, etc., should use more water, and should use all water; Use less water to describe parts and details. Watercolors are generally divided into transparent watercolors and opaque watercolors. Transparent watercolor painting is to mix pigments with water and apply a thin layer to make the colors on the screen clear and bright, with a transparent feeling. In addition to clear water, opaque painting can also use gum to make the colors on the screen more delicate and soft. It can be considered that the concept of watercolor painting will be broader and more profound with the renewal of ideas and the broadening of themes and techniques.
