Watercolors
I bought some sennelier watercolors and a pentel watercolor brush some months back. I finally put them to use. I was a bit intimidated by my 6in x 8in blank pad of watercolor paper, so I cut it up into smaller pieces (about 2in x 3in). Somehow that made a difference. I did a little sketch with a blue pencil on each one, then went at it!
It’s an interesting medium to work with, I had some white paint to use, but I tried saving my lights (meaning using the white of the paper) as much as possible. I was successful in some instances, and not in others. One of the images was supposed to be of a chrome-like ship, I did a quick paintover in photoshop afterwards to show what I had intended it to look like. I’ve also included two works in progress, one is just the sketch and the other has the background painted in (the subject in that one will be a floating island).
