Watercolor typically dries duller and much lighter than when the paint is first applied. By adding metallics, your artwork is allowed to catch the light and reflect its beautiful colors. There are many options available on the market to achieve this shimmery look. ---Add some metallics and let your art shine!
Examples to take in account
1. Eyeshadow - can be used similarly to the PearlEx Metallic Powders.
2. Actual glitter - tends to "flake" off the paper after the paint has dried. Glitter will get all over your studio and cause such a mess!
3. Nail polish - don't even try it!
4. Gold leaf - great if you want a strong separation of gold. Excellent for pattern work.
5. Liquid gold - also great for pattern work.
Of course there are many options available that I have yet to try. You should try everything and see which one is better suited to your painting style
This is the result of this process intent;
"The dance is over, the applause subsided
but the joy and feeling will stay with you forever"
Main Steps;
I did a negative painting from a light sketch made with watercolor pencil, --the meatallics are basically mixed within the red color also I made two dillusions to start making contrast into the figure
I need to work wet on dry to define the main features to work with
A close up, of my main color pool
I reinforce impigmentation into the background before block in the figure
Now I start to use colors to complement the idea, transparent watercolor Works better in dark zones and sometimes I use opaque colors to highlight brights
Final stage and cut it out
Notes and observations:
--- Is better used as a glaze over existing dry colors. When this paint is dry, it gives a more plastic appearance to your watercolor.
--- I couldn´t define the face in the first try, that´s why the lack of definition and lack of contrast
--- I need to express movement within this type of themes, so I´ll make some paintings to experiment how to
Some personal notes to start with new projects;
I try to paint every new painting in a way that is different from the previous, looking for texture in different ways too; , using different types of paper depending what I ty to achieve, combining the different techniques which I´m learning, because I love to discover new methods, thus I never been bored,
