watercolor + pastel

"Winter/Afternoon" 2019 F10 Watercolor/Pastel

Painting with a combination of watercolor + pastel、A very recent attempt。The combination of watercolor and pastel itself is a very common method.、I didn't have many examples.。When I start again、Not only can you take advantage of the best parts of both techniques, but also、is 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake、It has become clear that the hurdles for both pastels are lower.。this is a very useful discovery。I would like to recommend it to many people。

What does it mean to have a lower hurdle?、For example, in the picture above、When drawing a person's face with watercolor、Assuming you are using pastels, it is enough to paint the face color with a reddish-black surface.。No need for delicate techniques like painting only with watercolors。Afterwards, add a strong contour line with storyboards、Pastel only colors that are lighter than the surface painted with watercolor、You can write with the intention of drawing light.。I don't like pastel dark colors.、I have them underpaint it with watercolor, so it's very easy to draw.。No need to have too many pastel colors、Kill two birds with one stone。

I guess the problem is the staying power of pastels.。If you try to fix it firmly with fixer、Bright pastel colors fade。It is better to keep it to a minimum。Oh dear、I thought that powdered paint would fall off.、I think it would be more fun to not worry too much about permanence.。
