This paper it has a smoother side (side in which I worked with) and other with obtrusive testure, made basically for pastel work, This paper is not intended for watercolor but gives good results with some care, -- paper type is only one thing to think about. --You also needs to consider the color of the paper for a better impact on the results of the watercolor intent
This is the result to work with this particular paper, just consider the ability of the surface to get wet < see main steps below>
The chance to try different materials and see the results is one of the highlights for me. It is through this experimentation that you discover what works and what doesn't., so I hope you like this particular Project.
Paper color employed is Fog blue; 64 lbs Strathmore 500 series 100% cotton
1st Step sketching preparation.- "Optional" In order to reinforce the background texture I did use powdered artist´s charcoal which will be added in a pool of wáter, in order to sketch some background reference lines onto the dry watercolor paper with the help of a round brush , however also can be use just a pencil for main reference lines
Sketching result;
2nd "B" Step progress.- Note this paper does not withstand much humidity, so work with care and let it dry periodically
3rd "A" Step.- Continue watercoloring and shadowing accordingly
4th "A" Step I decided to add a figure into that shadow, so I start to define it with fine brushes as the rst of this painting
4th "B" Progress
5th Step .- Final touches and more definition
"The Mirror ,.- Whatever you want, to give. Be the best reflection of yourself"
