I started this painting with a light general sketch with out details. I then painted wet in wet. When the first layer was dry I went back in to areas I wanted deeper bolder color in.This took several layers,I wanted some of the berries to be ripe and other to be green still.

About this painting: I painted this watercolor about a year ago and there were some areas that I didn't like so I reworked it. Yes, you can go back into a watercolor and rework areas either lighting or darkening, When rework your paintings they can become muddy and dull, so preserving the luminous qualities of transparent watercolour is the hardest part.You can dip the paintbrush in water and gently paint over areas that have bled into other areas. This can "soften" the bleeding.Taking a clean paper towel and drying up the extra moisture and paint will remove most of the color. Let it dray and you are ready to paint over it.

About this painting: I created the interesting pumpkin skin texture by building layers of wet on wet paint with drying time in between each layer so I didn't get mud. When I added the final layer of wet on wet I also added a little table salt sprinkled on damp watercolor paint this creates a delicate flower-like spot. Each crystal of salt chases away the pigment to make a lighter area beneath it. You can use this for texture in many different kinds of watercolor painting. When the paint drys brush off all the salt. Pumpkins 12x9 click here to buy All Work ©2006-2016 Art by Delilah

About this painting: I did a quick sketch of where I want the branch and the web then I put down a watercolor fluid resist for the web. You can use masking tape,rubber cement,crayons, and ink as other ways to keep the white of the paper. As soon as the masking fluid was dry I added colors and let them bleed together to create a little mystery in the painting. When everything had dried I rubbed of the resist and viola the spider web Spider Web 9x12 bidding starts at 1.00 click here to bid All Work ©2006-2016 Art by Delilah

Two of a Kind 11x15 watercolor I started very light with with a yellow ocher watercolor wash. When I was about half way done I put in the background wash letting it dry then going back to deepen some areas. I though I was finish then stepping back, always a good thing to do I realized I had too much medium tone values and needed dark's so I darken areas of the Ostrich in the final wash try to keep the fluffy areas I had created earlier around the head of the Ostrich. These two happy little guys are ready for breakfast now.

I drew where I want the bee very lightly then I painted the sky colors letting them bleed together wet into wet. After the colors had dried a added a second wash in areas around the wings to create a negative image. Simply defined, negative painting is the practice of painting the space around an object, rather than the object itself. It is a great skill to learn as it helps an artist learn to view images as shapes and contours, and in watercolor it is sometimes the only way to keep areas of a painting light in value, while darkening the values around the object.

I paint Poppies often. I think most of the time I let the poppies paint them selves with the flow of colors in the petals. I often us the white of the paper for the background but on today's painting I have used some very light color washes.The key to Poppy painting is keep it simple and elegant. Watercolor requires patience. You must let the colors dry before adding more color or the colors will blend and become muddy.You want to keep those jewel bright colors in you painting.

I paint a few aceo each week. ACEO is an acronym that stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals. You probably have also heard the ONLY rule is the size, which is 2.5 x 3.5 inches (6.4 x 8.9 cms) just like sports cards but far more addictive. I use them to try out different ideas and maybe do a large painting. Mine are mostly watercolor but any media can be used. I post them on Ebay. They can be view here.  If you paint aceo please send me a comment with a picture and I will post here. Thanks Delilah Orange Eyed Frog Click here to buy All Work ©2006-2016 Art by Delilah
