1, ordinary nylon pen.
2. Palette (large).
3. Gouache pigment (preferably canned).
4. Small brush with hook.
Second, the method/steps:
1. The color matching in sketch is based on correct observation and understanding of the color relationship of objects. When mixing colors, you can't look at one piece in isolation, adjust one piece and draw one piece. We should consider the overall hue and color relationship, and decide each color from the whole. The colors of gouache sketch are not easy to connect. On the basis of clarifying the relationship between colors, try to adjust the colors of several large color blocks and prepare for redrawing.
2. Although the use of water in gouache painting is not as important as that in watercolor painting, it cannot be ignored. Water mainly plays the role of dilution and medium. Color matching, pen use and the change of color layer thickness are all closely related to the use of water. Generally speaking, proper use of water can make the picture smooth, moist and rich. Too much water will reduce the chromaticity, resulting in water stains, stains and water color deposition. Moreover, insufficient water will make the color dry and sticky, making it difficult to use a pen. Usually, it is advisable to cover the background color smoothly with pen water. Generally, you can use more water in dark places, imaginary places and distant places to enhance your empty inspiration and transparency.
3. The use of white in gouache painting is similar to that in oil painting, with more colors. The main function of calling white is to enhance the brightness of color and reduce the purity of color. When it is close, three-dimensional and prominent, it is helpful to shape the figure and make it bright, solid and prominent. The use of color, water and white needs to be considered in combination with the pen and the dry and wet shades of the whole picture. We should proceed from the needs of expressing different objects and achieve change and unity.
4. Because gouache can use all kinds of pens, the techniques of gouache are extremely rich. And it's based on oil painting. In the development process of Chinese painting and watercolor painting, it has been continuously developed. Common brushwork in gouache painting. "Flat brushwork"-the handwriting is hidden. The color layer of the picture is flat; "Scattering"-the handwriting is exposed, but the thickness of the color layer has no obvious change; "Thick points"-the color levels are mixed and overlapped, and the colors are thick and light; "stippling"-using the principle of mixing light and color, using dense small strokes (color dots) to shape the image.
5. Because the color of gouache painting dries faster, the change of wet and dry is obvious. When water is used, the color will flow on the picture and seep out, which is easy to produce water stains. Therefore, mastering cohesion skills is very important for gouache painting. The connection of gouache painting is mainly divided into three ways: wet connection, dry connection and pressure connection.
6. Also pay attention to coverage. The main function of covering can be summarized as two points: first, it is a technology to shape the image through the overlapping of color layers and the change of thickness of the picture; The second is the modification method. The hiding power of gouache color is strong, but there are differences. In addition, when using clear water in painting, it is easy to make the background color (covering color layer) rise if you don't master it well, resulting in water stains and dirty colors. Sometimes it is deliberately covered with a very thin color to reveal the underlying color. These specific effects are difficult to estimate, and it is not easy to master the covering skills, so you have to ponder it slowly.
7. Be careful not to make flowers after painting. If you want to remove it, you can wash it with water or use a knife. If you don't want to work so hard, you can add more water when painting, but pay attention to the proportion.
Note: You can wear gloves, sleeves and aprons to prevent yourself from getting dirty.
