Buying Proper Supplies For Watercolor Marine Art Prints

By Jeffrey Kennedy


People, who are interested in art, may choose to work with different things. You might decide to do abstract paintings, or solely handle portraits of people. Other people will be fascinated with sea life. These may be either the built environment, or the organisms. One way they can choose to depict this, is by coming up with watercolor marine art prints.

In order to come up with good work, you need to use good tools. This will mean having good quality materials, in the right quantities and sizes. In case you are an expert in this field, you will know exactly what to buy. However, if you are just getting started, you might require some help. You can choose to go shopping with someone who knows a lot about this field, or visit a reputable store, where they can help you.

When you go shopping for brushes, refrain from buying many, even if you think it will be cheap. Good quality brushes are a bit expensive, and you might limit you from buying many. Ideally, even with five good ones, you should be able to get started. The best brushes are made from natural fibers like squirrel and sable. You can also look for those made of synthetic materials, but they should be soft. Make sure that you also get the right sizes.

Most people may think that selecting the paints is an easy job, but in actual sense it is not. You need to decide which type you are more comfortable using, between the liquid, tube, and pan varieties. After you have made your choice, you will then need to select the colors. If this is your first time, it is advisable to choose a variety of colors. As you progress, you should be able to single out the ones you use more often, and then buy different shades of them.

Another thing you will need to get is the surface on which you will paint. You may choose to get watercolor paper as you start, then later progress to canvas. This paper should be thick, so that it does not buckle or start to fold, as the paint dries. These papers come as individual sheets, as a block, or in a pad. For convenience purposes, it will be better to buy a pad, or a block of them.

After you buy all the supplies, you will need a place to mix the different hues with water, and with other colors. In case you do not see the need to buy a pallet, you can use a white plate to do this. However, it is better to just buy one. This will allow you to play around with different colors. Some of those available in the market are plastic covered, or even covered in metal.

Most people will not pay much attention to the type of water used, but it is very important to be careful. If the water is too hard or too soft, it will affect the consistency of the paint. You also need to keep changing it, to ensure that your brushes stay clean.

After buying all these, you will be ready to start creating works of art. Additionally, the stationery for making the sketches and the easels for placing the canvas, can also be sourced, but do not need to be bought immediately.
