over texturized carboard
Watercolor is a wonderfully versatile medium, and you can change its look quite easily with additives and other materials to give it a more textural appearance. The sample below demonstrate these textural effect. with modeling paste as a primary base.-Some work better with staining pigments, or with pigments that have sediment.
I've also recently begun to premix tints and shades of my favorite watercolors with white and black gouache (MGraham because it stays moist). I use the results like pan watercolors, mostly wet-in-wet, and I find they handle almost exactly like regular watercolors but with a wonderful expansion of possibilities.
You can use Gouache like regular transparent watercolor, except it is opaque....
with or without transparent in the same painting...Strong bright colors with dramatic washes for more graphic like art .- You can use it like acrylic or oil, using it thick and mix colors with black and white...And anywhere between.
My following painting was made through transparent watercolor, but completed with opaque watercolor (gouache) within vegetation and wáter cascade - lights effects
Ref 877 Final Result
How I did;
1st.- sketch over canvas - cardboard--- and framed with tape
2nd:_ Add with an spatula; modeling paste previously colored and blending with watercolor paint accordingly
3rd:- Start to paint with watercolor over the texturid surface once is completely dry from previous stage
4th:- Once you´re happy with the result, start to paint with gouache .- the color is more intense and regarding the amount of wáter on it you can make it transparent in some spots or leave it, like that
5th Start working all details until you be satisfied, At the end you can use a fixative to protect your painting either gloss or mate (I use gloss because my painting show humity all around, take away the tape and that´s all
