      Aronath Cordova Skills yo, straight up skills

    • @imhallucination219
      @imhallucination219 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Aronath Cordova you can paint a picture (like the cat) over the background after you let the spray paint dry 🙂 (sorry my grammar is not that good ^^)

    • @susanwhite8489
      @susanwhite8489 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Aronath Cordova she did not. This is a totally different painting. You cannot paint over something already existing, unless you block out the foreground, can't be done.

      You can see with the Cat painting the background it is rather light in color. It is easy to paint a slightly darker subject over a light colored background. With a darker background like the example piece she created you would want to go in with a damp rag and lighten (rewet and remove color) the areas you want to put your main subject.

      +SUSAN WHITE I'm not trying to be argumentative here but you are so incredibly wrong. I paint over "already existing" backgrounds constantly without blocking them out. I see other artists do the same quite often. Painting over a background like her example piece can be tricky because its a bit darker but it creates depth and interest to a painting. Watercolor isn't strictly translucent nor fully opaque but it can give the illusion of being opaque with layering and less dilution to cover darker areas. Not to mention you could just use watercolor for a background then use a different medium to paint your main imagery on top.

    I haven't seen this video until now. Feb 7, 2021. Most of the TH-cam video are uploaded by Artist's Network, and I don't like to watch my own video. Today I watched for the first time. So many people asked me about several questions, but I haven't answered them. Generally, first, I pour three colors. Most important thing is let it dry completely. And one more important thing is you want to select the subject matter darker tone than pour. I did not use any gauche nor acrylic. The whiskers, white hairs in ears and eyes were masked with a frisket, and soft outline was scrubbed with scrub brushes. After that layers of colors were applied to get the shape of the cat, and create the short hair with a each brush stoke. It can be done when you have a patient. After the pour, I also applied a very light blue on the around the cat, too. Hope this explain to satisfy you.

      I have watched this several times, it is so fun to watch. I really appreciate you sharing it and this information. I am going to do a barn owl with a night sky and try this as my background. I feel your technique here lets the watercolor do its magic. Thank you, wishing you well 🥰

    ayy i love doing stuff like this, it's really fun for abstract pieces bc you get to just work off of how the background and water had worked for you and your canvas. i did this for mini tag pieces for a-level with brusho inks and ahhhh its fun fun fun 😄😄😂
