1, easel: an armchair can be used as easel, which can be reclined or laid flat, so as to control the water content of the picture when painting.
2. Drawing paper: Watercolor painting requires high drawing paper, and it is best to use special watercolor paper. Watercolor paper can be divided into two types: coarse-grained paper and fine-grained paper. Coarse-grained paper is more suitable for dry drawing and fine-grained paper is more suitable for wet drawing.
3. Brush: one large, medium and small shade pen and one watercolor pen are enough. Of course, you can also choose or make your own brushes according to the needs of the picture. Generally speaking, the brush is required to store water, be elastic and suitable for drawing, writing, picking and marking.
4. Pigments: Imported pigments have "Windsor" and "Newton" brands, but the price is higher. Domestic "Mary" brand is of better quality and cheaper price. Use as little black as possible, and it is easy to stain the picture.
5. Toner cartridge: Warm colors and cool colors can be placed separately.
6, color knife: used to scrape out bright places or smear special effects when painting.
7. Small bucket: used to hold the washing pen, and the water should be kept clear to give full play to the transparent effect of watercolor color.
8. Pencil: 1-6B Pencil is acceptable, mainly depending on the habit of drawing. Beginners can type with hard pencils.
Step 2 (1) Sketch the outline: Sketch lightly on the mounted paper with a pencil, and pay attention to the arrangement of composition. When drawing larger pictures and more realistic works, try to be accurate in modeling (careful and accurate outlines help vividly express objects when coloring. However, excessive use of rubber should be avoided to avoid damaging the paper. To do this well, we should pay attention to the training of basic sketch skills at ordinary times.
(2) watercolor painting skills: dry pen, wet pen, tick pen, sweep pen, wipe pen, point pen, swing pen, drag pen, pause pen, and so on. The use of these brushstrokes has a great relationship with water, and the speed, direction and angle of brushstrokes will have various changes, which can enrich their expressive ability if used properly.
(3) Water control in watercolor painting:
1, what is a blend of water and color? The blending of water and color requires the close combination of water and color to show the object in a complementary way. You can't pursue water unilaterally, play with it and suddenly look at the shape of the object.
2. Background treatment of watercolor painting: The background image of watercolor painting can be summarized and concise, and its brushwork should be large and bold, showing ethereal and elegant, which is helpful to create a picture atmosphere and set off the prospect.
3. Water rhyme in the picture: Successful watercolor painting requires the picture to be full of water rhyme, that is, transparent, moist, ethereal, flowing and other fascinating visual effects.
Transparency of the picture: Transparency is the biggest language feature of watercolor painting. Learn to rationally use the dilution and release of water to show the color transparency on the screen.
5. Timing of pen use: Watercolor painting should use the previous pen when the watercolor is not dry, and infiltration, coloring and color overlapping can produce certain effects. Timing of pen use is particularly important. For example, in-depth description, the second pen can wait until the water on the paper dries. There is more water on the paper, so the pen can be used faster!
6. Influence of season and climate: In spring, rainy days, the air is humid and the water evaporates slowly. Autumn, sunny days, dry air and rapid evaporation of water. Outdoor painting has wind and sunshine, and water evaporates quickly. Therefore, according to different seasons and climates, we should do more exercises to control the water screen and master the experience.
7, the problem of poor water control: too little water will make the picture appear: dry, withered, stagnant, sultry, lost the characteristics of water color. There is too much water, and the color of water flowing everywhere is difficult to control, which is not conducive to shaping the body.
(4) Understand and master some simple color knowledge:
1, the addition of three primary colors: red+yellow = orange yellow+blue = green red+blue = purple (the addition of three indirect colors can get different shades of gray). Don't use black in the deepest part of the picture, use ripe ochre and ultramarine.
2. Five groups of similar colors are developed on the basis of five primary colors in psychology: yellow: light yellow, medium yellow, khaki and orange yellow. Red: vermilion, scarlet, rose, khaki. Blue: lake blue, phthalocyanine blue, ultramarine blue and plain blue. Green: light green, grass green, emerald green and olive green. Purple.
3. Rational use of gray: Gray can play a good role in setting off high-purity colors. In the picture, the gray in the distance should be light cold, while the gray in the vicinity should be warm and deep.
4. The main characteristics of watercolor color matching: mainly rely on water dilution to achieve the purpose of improving brightness. In order to keep the transparency of colors, we should use as few colors as possible. Two-color mixing is more transparent than three-color mixing
Step 3 (1) pastel painting: Watercolor painting can start with pastel painting. The so-called pastel painting is to draw the outline of an object or draw light and shade with a pencil and other tools, and then draw a thin and transparent watercolor. Light color painting can be divided into: pencil light color, pen light color and charcoal light color.
(B) the basic techniques of watercolor painting:
1, dry painting: dry painting refers to the first time when the color is dry, then the second time and the third time. The use of dry painting, because of the overlapping of levels, will produce rich hierarchical effects, so that the object of performance is clear, true and in-depth. This method is good at expressing light and shadow effects. However, it is still required that the pen should be full of water and moisture when painting to prevent the color from drying out. Dry painting is usually like this.
2. Wet painting: Wet painting means that the process of drawing paper is always wet. If some parts are dry, you can wet them before painting. Wet painting is a basic and important painting method of watercolor painting. The infiltration, blooming and dripping of watercolor can make the color get a very natural, soft and moist effect, which fully embodies the characteristics of watercolor, such as transparency, fluency and lightness. It is difficult for beginners to master. Its disadvantage is difficulty.
(3) color sketch essentials:
1, conception.
2, the choice of tool materials.
3. composition.
4. color.
5. Screen adjustment.
(4) Special techniques of watercolor painting: (It can enrich the expressive force of watercolor painting and promote the innovation and development of watercolor painting art.. )
1, salt sprinkling method: sprinkle salt on the coated paper before it is dry. When salt melts, it will melt the color, and when it is dried, it will produce snowflake-like texture. The darker the picture, the stronger the effect.
2. Waxing method: where the background color of the picture needs to be left, lightly wax the blank place (candle stick, crayon, oil pastel, rubber water, etc.). ). Waxing gestures in this way should not be too heavy, and the point, drawing, drawing and wiping should be changed.
3, precipitation method: some colors in watercolor painting will produce precipitation after drying, which requires sufficient water when coloring, so that small particles in the color can flow and precipitate on paper. This method is easy to produce effects in light colors, such as dark blue, ochre and other colors.
4. Suction washing method: On fine-grained watercolor paper, when the color is not dry, use rice paper, sponge, paper towel, cleaning pen, etc. To absorb color, you can express smoke, clouds, waves and so on.
5, sand skin method: gently polish the dry painting with fine sandpaper, you will get a vivid and natural effect.
6. Scraper method: You can scrape branches, boat cables and other lines before the watercolor color is dry.
7. Washing method: Washing the color of the picture with a pen will make the color of the picture lighter and thinner.
8. Printing and dyeing method: different fabrics (such as coarse linen and fine linen) and crumpled paper are dipped in white paper or wet color layer, printed, pressed, patted and rubbed to produce special effects.
9. Drip method: When the color layer of the picture is not dry, spray, sprinkle and drip water on it, and the water drops will wash away the color, resulting in mottled effect. This method can be used to show rainy scenes. Beginners should not blindly pursue the special effects of watercolor painting, but should pay attention to mastering the basic techniques. Only on the basis of mastering the basic technology in hand and skillfully using the above special technologies can we understand its function.
