| A Week of Watercolour Sketches Eileen Gidman 11 X 15" $55 |
Working in this format is motivating.
As noted in the previous post a light wash was applied to the
watercolour paper prior to it being divided into squares. Each day
last week, I either sketched with a black ink pen something that was
of interest to me that day or I completed a sketch in the studio with
watercolour washes.
What became evident working in this
format was the necessity to consider a whole composition along with
each individual watercolour sketch. Creating flow through the
watercolours was accomplished with the high contrast of the dark blue
with the lights. A complementary colour scheme of orange and blue was
adhered to throughout to further add cohesiveness. Note the perennial
sweet peas in the upper left in real life are pink. The advantage of
painting is the ability to change the composition and colours of what
you are painting, to create your own unique artwork.
