Watercolour Painting
Daniel Smith Watercolour Ground, Something New For Watercolours
I just want to tell you about a brand new product that has just come onto the market and is just fantastic if you're a Watercolourist.
Like all painting mediums they all have their problems and watercolour is no exception. One of the problems with watercolours is the limited surfaces you can paint on; you are always limited to watercolur paper. Now don't get me wrong here, painting on watercolour paper isn't a massive problem, as their is some fantastic paper's out their, and it does make it quite easy, in fact that's why painting in watercolour is so popular with beginner artists, as the equipment needed to start painting is so simple, it could be as little as 1 tube of paint, 1 brush, some paper and a jar for some water, how simple is that. But as you move on and get better, well more experienced, sometimes you'd like the opportunity to paint on a different substrate, just now and again you would like to try something new, something different.
As an artist by nature you are a creative person, so sometimes you want to let your artistic juices flow and not be tied to the same paper, again and again. Well i have just come across this brand new product from the American Watercolourist Daniel Smith. This American company has created the first Watercolour Ground that i have heard of. It is best described as being just like a gesso, it looks like gesso and you apply it in pretty much the same manner, but the main difference is you can apply this ground to almost any surface. So what's the difference i hear you ask from just any old gesso on the market, why don't i just paint my old gesso onto a piece of cardboard and paint onto that, surely it'll do the same thing. Well what your old gesso doesn't do is dry to a HP paper textured finish, that's right once this ground dries it will look and feel just like a sheet of HP medium texture watercolour paper. The ground creates a soft, absorbent watercolour surface with a slightly cottony texture that's similar to cold press paper.
It is recommended that you use the watercolour ground straight from the container. It has a thick, brushable consistency. For best results use a soft-haired synthetic brush for a smooth finish or a hog bristle brush for a more textured finish. Since the ground is pigmented with Titanium White Pigment, one coat will cover most surfaces, however very absorbent surfaces such as unfinished soft wood may require two coats, allowing the first coat to dry properly before adding the second coat, for the best results let your watercolour ground dry and cure for at least 24 hours, this allows it to attain the right degree of absorption, just make sure you wash your brushes immediately after use.
Another problem with watercolours is, if you ruin your painting that's it, there's no going back. You tread a very thin line with watercolour, it's so easy to apply to much water and get the wrong result, a drip or run will just stain your finished painting, and if you use far to much water, your paper acts just like blotting paper and you end up with something that resembles cabbages, and the worst thing is you can't overpaint with watercolour and start again, well not until now that is. This new ground lets you cover up any unfortunate mistakes; it gives you a second chance, a nice security blanket enabling you to rescue any of your old unseen paintings. It works because the ground is pigmented with titanium white and dries to a watercolour paper finish; you just apply it directly over any unwanted areas, leave it 24hrs then start again, because what is left is almost like a fresh piece of unpainted paper, fantastic.
About the Author
For all your art supplies please consider using Paint & ART as your first port of call. We offer a wide and comprehensive range of art supplies; everything a busy artist might need. We offer products from some of the most respected and trusted manufacturers in the business. http://www.paintandart.com is an online source for not only quality art supplies but also information; we offer hints and tips on problems that many artists face daily, we have a regular updated blog giving ideas and advice on products and techniques.
We have just opened a retail shop in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, for details and directions take a look at the shops website http://www.artsupplieshuddersfield.co.uk
The vision for Paint & ART is something quite different from your run of-the-mill art shop. Most art shops are quite boring places to be in, they're just shops that happen to sell art supplies; they may as well be selling table cloths or spanners. We feel that an art shop needs to be so much more; it needs to be a place of inspiration. Artists are by their nature, creative people, so they desire inspiration; they are always looking for something to inspire them, that little thing that stands out, something that gives them that spark of an idea. That's the feeling I'm hoping to create in our shop, we want an art shop where customers can buy their products from, but at the same time be totally inspired, I want them to come and hang out and just be immersed in the whole experience of the shop, look at the different things going on, look at the art on display, talk about art and ask for advice on the products they are looking to buy.
My watercolour painting is not good enough, can you help me please?
my teacher asks us to draw and watercolour a painting. i drew quite well last week but this week, just now in class, i started watercolouring and it was terrible. for one thing, the paper is not good, it soaks water and it smears. so all the watercolour came out terrible. and it ruined my drawing. the thing is, i am not allowed to do anything at home. i can only do it in school. and if i draw another one, my teacher will notice and she will cut off my marks.
so, what is it that i can do?i'm pretty sure she wouldn't let me start another new drawing, so help me please? the paper is no good at all. i bought good paper just now but what can i do? i'm really serious on this project and i wanna do well in it. if you do not under stand my question, can you e-mail me please if you thought you could help?
good paper is one thing. good drawing paper is another. and good watercolor paper is still another thing. was your paper watercolor paper?
if it wasnt that may be one of the things you can tell your teacher that you've learned. for watercolor it helps to use watercolor paper to start with. watercolor paper has "sizing" in it or on the surface. that helps to control the paint and keep it on the surface and not be absorbed by the paper.
another thing you can try is to let one area of color dry completely before you add another area of color next to it or over it. by dry i mean very dry - bone dry - it is sometimes called.
you might also be able to go ahead and allow your color to spread on the paper. do not put too many colors on at a time. that is likely to make the color muddy. one color at a time then let it dry. then the next color and let that dry. that is one way to work with watercolor. you can work one area while another area is drying as long as the two areas do not touch...
dont worry too much about remaining in the lines if the color is being absorbed into the paper and/or running. that may be because the paper is not watercolor paper or you are touching one wet color area to another wet color area - that runs the colors together... just let it go where it does at this point - the more you "mess" with it the more messed up it is likely to become. so when something starts to go wrong - stop and let it dry. do try to keep colors close to where you want it but dont worry about it if it runs or is absorbed. that is the nature of what ever paper you are working on - a different paper will respond differently...
when you've placed as much color down as you want and let it all dry then go back over it with more drawing. keep your drawing loose and general so that it's in keeping with the loose placement of color.
if you feel you need to, you can add small areas of color after drawing again. but not a lot. just a few places to help integrate the drawing lines with the paint.
the less you work the paint the better in most cases with watercolor. put it down once in one stroke and let it be. let it dry. an area that is all the same color can be done all at one time unless you want your bush strokes to show. dont go back and dab here and there tho. that will mess things up or make things worse. or make things muddy. let it be as it is, even if you missed a little spot. just let it dry that way and dont worry about it. leave it just that way.
you can try some of these things. i dont know if they will work for you or not. learn to work how ever the materials respond. trying to make them do something they wont do, doesnt usually work well.
watercolor can be fun. learning about watercolor can be fun. let the teacher know what you've learned and because of that, what you'd like to try next time you have the opportunity to work with watercolor again. focus on the adjustments you want to try next rather than "what didnt work or you dont like".
good luck have fun.
