Hello to all PinturaFacil's friends! Today I'm going to paint with watercolor
this nice Valentine's Day or Mother Day card that goes so well
because it is a heart
with some roses and painted with
this easy masking technique
with watercolor that you'll love!! So stay with me!!
For this project
I'll need again a lightbox, if you don't have one
you can use a glass table
putting a light under it and placing on the design and the watercolor cardboard
this way
you'll trace the drawing
using the liquid mask
today I'm using
a "creamy" mask
and
I'm going to apply it
but as I want a delicate work I'm going
to put
a nozzle
to obtain thin lines
in the hole
design
it'll be more elegant
draw all the lines
all the design
carefully without making mask "balls"
so you can make line unions
with a wooden stick
once done, let it dry
or
strong enough to paint
these are the colors I'll need
to paint this card: dark blue, yellow
light red
and then dark and light green
so I have
the design well
dry
I put under the card some white paper
because I'm going to paint until the edges
and I don't want
to stain the table
I want to paint with freedom until the edges
without problems
so I'm going to make
some blue gouache
and the first thing
to do
will be
dampen the background
with clean water
I just moisten it
with a
big brush
to go fast
is not necessary to soak it
but just moisten it
to obtain this effect
I want
so it is wet
and I'll star
apply the gouache on the background
taking care of
the design
edges
the leaves
and flowers
to don't paint them
now I'll work the edges
with a thinner brush
and I'm going to apply
also some darker gouache
to create a kind of shadow
to combine with last gouache
you can see here
the natural gradient color
I'm always on time
to add more color
to darken it
I'll start this side too
this side is a little bit dry
so I'll pass the brush with light gouache to moisten it
this way the color mix together
remember it's not necessary
to even the colors
the nice part of watercolor
is to obtain all those colors
in different parts
and differentiated
lighter areas, darker
ones
with spots... that's nice
this watercolor I'm adding here is very very light
remember that when it dries it'll become lighter
and I'm adding some
shadows in this curls
so when I'll take out the mask
it'll look better
it'll be this way
let it dry very well, and you'll see mix the colors
this part is too dark for me
so I blur it this way
mixing... and then
let it dry
to continue
with the roses
and leaves
so now we're going to mix some
dark green watercolor
and I'll apply it
to all the leaves
paint them at once
you only have to take care
of roses
so paint
only the leaves
so be carefull
with roses
I'll take care of light and shadows
later
now
just paint them
with
green
and I'm applying
a dark green gouache,
that is very light
later, I'll work light areas
and some dark areas too
I'll use light green
to make the light
and the shadows
with more dark green gouache
now I'm going to apply some light green
to put some light
as you see I'm not paint the hole leaf
but I only decide
where to put the light
and that's where I paint
with light green
and now just apply
some dark green to make shadows... you can also make
some light retouches
as the gouache is wet, I'll retouch with light green to make it brighter
some more dark green
and that's it!
let's start with roses
using red watercolor
light red
i'll paint first all
the roses with red
without thinking of petals
or anything
just paint a base
with light red
watercolor
and then
I'll paint
the details
now, using
yellow
I'll paint
the light areas
in each petal
and now using red
I'll paint shadows mixing with
yellow
this is a nice work that you can do as playing
it's really fun
and it's like
coloring
maybe I can put more yellow
and mix with the red
they mix together and make a kind of orange
work it this way
it's really nice
to do
I'm going to continue with the others
adding
some red and yellow areas
so now the watercolor work is done
and I'll let it
dry
and then I'm going to
take out
the watercolor mask
now that is dry
I'll just rub
the mask
to take it out
it goes very fast and easy
and then you have
this kind of rubber
It is really fast
as you lift somewhere it goes out quickly
Really easy
don't forget the pistils
and that's the way to take out
all the liquid mask
now that the card is ready
I only need to flatten it
to start writing down
I hope you enjoy painting with me
this nice Valentine's Day card or Mother's day card
with this nice
heart shape
