I’m new to watercolor and currently have very limited access to art supplies - I have to make it work with what I have which is why i appreciate your technique of selecting only 3, 4 or 5 paint colors then using them to create all the other colors you need. It’s also practical color theory!

Hi. Of course x

Rae, I'm interested to see how you use white paper to create lines/highlights on this rosebud. Can you expand on how you choose where to use this please? I have noticed the technique on other paintings like your protea. It creates an iluminous effect.

@helencampbell

Жыл бұрын

Hi. Essentially, the paper is the white, as you know. So I will just use a lighter wash around the areas that I want to keep white or want to retain. In order to have, it looking more realistic, I use a plain water glaze when the paint is dry just to go over the white areas to take the whiteness out of them in order to make them look more realistic. I hope this makes sense.

It came about after our devastating bushfires of 2019, where we lost a lot of flora and fauna in the fires - one of the flowers they are trying to save is actually a type of wild daisy, and I hope they succeed because daisies are so pretty!

Hi Rae. I’m attempting this tutorial and I was wondering what colour would you replace wth olive brown. I don’t have that colour or at least not one with that name. Is it more of a green olive? Struggling with this one too. Again it’s my heavy handedness lol. I got my spotter brushes fromRose and Co and love them thank you.

Do you have a link or name of your Facebook group. Never mind I found it.

Can you explain the difference between the spotter brushes and a regular small brush? How is a 0 spotter different from a size 0 brush? Also, I see SP stands for smart point. What is and what does a brush with a smart point do and when would one use it. I really enjoy watching you paint. Your paintings are beautiful!

@helencampbell

3 жыл бұрын

Hi. Where is SP please? Spotters have shorter bristles so the watercolour paint is easier to apply. In terms of size, I suppose the point would be the same but obviously a zero in one brand is possibly different from a size 0 in another. I find that a zero size spotter makes the application easier than a general zero size because with a normal brush you would just have a few hairs but with a spotter the point makes it easier to apply
