What A Watercolorist Actually Does

By Mia Kent


The world of painting sees many different types as there are a lot of different variations of painting. As a watercolorist, one will be using special types of pant that mixes together with water in order to create a mix that can make really beautiful portraits. Just to give an idea to people on what this type of painter does, here are some of the things he would do.

As a painter in this field, one will be making use of water all the time. He will have to learn the art of using the right amount of water as well as the right amount of paint in order to be able to create the right type of mix. So he must always have a continuous supply of water beside him while he paints.

When he is ready with his brushes, paints, and water supply, then the first step here is to wet the canvas. The primary reason for doing this would be to simply get the paper ready for the painting of the background. In order to do this, one must first get a big brush, dip that brush into some water, and just simply smear the water all over the paper.

After wetting the entire paper, then the next step in the process would be to paint the background of the painting. To be able to do this, one has to first get some paint and mix it together with a bit of water. The background has to make use of quite a bit of water in order to produce a glossy effect.

When that step is done, then one may now start painting the background with the mix that he created a while ago. After he paints the background, then he must let his picture dry up so that when he paints later, the paint will not run down. Another reason would be because a dried background will look much nicer.

When the background has already dried, then one may now create the actual portrait over the background. Now for this step, it is very important to put less water on the paint when doing this process. In order to create a nice picture, one must first dip his brush into the paint and dip it a little bit in the water then start painting the picture.

Another key element here would be to try out shades and color mixtures by playing with the paint and the water. For a thin shade, one will have to use more water. It goes vice versa for for a thick shade as one will have to use less water in order to have a thicker and fuller paint quality.

So for beginner watercolorists, it is very essential to be learning these techniques before going to the advanced ones. In order for one to be able to perfect this art, he must first know the process of creating a painting out of water and paints. From there, he will pick up the more advanced maneuvers and techniques that will create nicer effects.
