11" x 14" watercolor 300# Arches paper unframed $250.00
This is a painting of a beautiful dancer in a quiet moment, working out a hand movement for her ballet.
I
am showing the development of my watercolor so that you can see how
layers and layers of color are applied to get the nearly finished
product. Beginning with the bottom photo, I splattered masking after the first layer. It is important
to see that a window of sorts was applied after the first layer. I
liked it but did not want the painting to be too pastel, so subsequent
layers of opposite colors were applied in the background to give a
feeling of opulence. Lastly I applied some spots a la Ted Nuttall.
Which layer do you prefer?
I always think the first layer is magical.
