Art by Delilah Fish No. 2 About This Painting: Watercolor is often thought of as a non fixable difficult medium to work with. Over working a painting whether it's watercolor or oil can be a real problem. When you think a few more details, one more brush stroke will improve the painting is the beginning of the problem. You can create a real problem of turning the painting into mud by being to fussy. Don't pick up that brush,stop and put the painting down come back to it in a day take another look with fresh eyes.

Polka-Dot Cup 12x9 watercolor Painting green is one of the important things to learn when using watercolors. Green right from the tube is just to garish and needs to be mixed with other colors to give it a more natural look You can make your own greens by mixing blues and yellows. I have modified viridian green with blues for the shadows and added a little more cadmium yellow for the sunlight areas. I like to bring in the compliment of green, red. In this painting I have added alizarin crimson to both the edges of the white flowers and areas of leaves. Daily Paint Works, where I often post watercolors paintings had a challenge to paint something with Polka-Dots so this is what I painted. This watercolor is for sale. To purchase Please click here for Polka-Dot Cup.

Art by Delilah Painting on paper is an art form in itself and there are many areas of technical expertise needed in order to ensure a durable and lasting work of art. There are many thousands of types of paper, ranging form rough cardboard to thin and textured papers. Paper may be bought in different colors or specially prepared. In this exercise I used 140 lb watercolor paper but feel free to give it a try with cheap paper, a simple sketching or pastel paper will work. The method that will be discussed can be used with even the cheapest and least durable papers and the end result will be a very long lasting work of art. 1. Prepare the paper: All that is required are a number of layers of thin acrylic paint or medium on the paper. Three layers should be sufficient, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. The texture that you might like to create will be determined by the amount of acrylic paint or medium you apply. If you wish to retain the texture of t...

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.” - Vidal Sassoon (1928-2012), Camellia 9x12 Click here to bid I started a state flower series a while back and then got off track doing other things and never finished. I am easily distracted because everything seems like a possible painting to me. The ideas buzz around in my head like wild bees. Today I ran across this floral painting of a Camellia the State Flower of Alabama.  Like the quote at the top of the page: The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. It is summer and I love to paint flowers in watercolor in the summer so I am going to start the series again.

Today I am doing a demo of a watercolor painting of a yellow garden rose. I started with 200 lb cold pressed watercolor paper and drew where I wanted the rose to be. I painted in some of the shadow colors first so I wouldn't love the shape of the flower as I added color washes to it. I started adding some of the base colors and leaving high lights. I load up my palette with lots of color so I don't run out. I add the base steam color and the thorns. I begin adding background washes to the painting. I get darker at the bottom because I want the large rose to be the focus of attention in this painting. The finished painting: A yellow rose click here to bid.
