What is the watercolor process?

• Work from background to foreground• Work from light to dark (leave lightest/highlighted areas white

of paper until the very end!)• Work from large, generalized shapes to smaller detailed shapes• Use glazes/washes of color to increase dark values• Let paper dry in between glazes (lessens the amount of paper

warp)• Use a variety of brushes- start with large round brush for

washes/large shapes• Use smaller brushes last for details- add line and very dark

areas last

Watercolor techniques• WashesFlat wash: First wet area of paper to be

covered by the wash, then mixing sufficient pigment to easily fill the entire area. Graded wash: Slightly dilute pigment more water for each horizontal stroke. The result is a wash that fades out gradually and evenly

• Glazing– Thin, transparent pigment is applied over dry

existing washes. Its purpose is to adjust the color and tone of the underlying wash. Be sure each layer is thoroughly dry before applying the next.

Wet in Wet: Applying wet brush with pigment to wet paper

Dry Brush: Heavily saturated brush with pigment with little water, adding pigment to dry paper

Lifting Off: Lighten color by wetting brush and applying water to area of paper, then pressing down to remove color- or mask off areas to be left highlighted.

Dropping In: Allowing pigment to blend by bleeding/feathering- dropping wet, saturated pigment to wet paper and not interrupting the bleeding process.

Experimental watercolor techniques

• Paint on wet paper• Lift off wet color• Use a palette knife and scrape away• Apply salt, sand or starch• Press an object onto wet paper like a leaf, doily, string• Splatter• Block out areas and make them glossy by using gloss medium

first. • Use glue to raise up a design, let it dry apply watercolor over

it.• Use watercolor and oil pastel to create a resist.

Aim: What is a Zentangle and how can you use it to transform your figure into line and pattern design?

• Do Now: Continue anatomy handout drawing
