This time I decided to try just watercolor for an automotive drwg, I use mostly nylon or nylon/sable brushes because I'm so hard on them. They last a long time and take a lot of abuse. I use flats brushes. Brushes. pointed, and rigger. I have several sable and nylon of each. I use a mixture of smaller brushes for details.
Paper: I have tried many, I like 140# for paintings that will be mostly one-pass and wet and the 300# for multiple glazes. This is not the place to cut cost. Stick to the best brands. Winsor & Newton, Fabriano, Kilimanjaro and others make high quality paper. however I did through a cold pressed texture as available for this particular idea
I usually wet the entire paper before starting and then dry the areas that I want to remain white by wiping with tissues. This allows for soft edges, but helps control the pigment from running into areas where I don't want it. As long as the brush and pigment don't add more water to the surface, the pigment will stay pretty much where you put it, but will still diffuse enough to get that beautiful "wet" look where you need it. One of the key learning points in watercolor is to develop a feel for how wet the paper really is, how much pigment in the brush and how wet the brush is. It's frustrating at first, but if you keep at it, you''ll get the idea.
Let me stress once more how important it is to have some sort of plan before you get into the fun of throwing all that wonderful color around. It's easy to overdo it and find that you've gone beyond the point where you should have stopped to think about it. Prior to start , I have a plan for myself, regarding two main tones and the white of the paper . This time I worked quite easy with practically Payne´s grey and Viridian, Green I want to be loose to check just in color pigment
