Water color picture?help.?

Question

hey everyone
for my art class we have to do watercolors but there is no theme for the painting and i was wondering if you have anysuggestions for what to draw.

i was kinda thinking about the sun and moon combined or something with sun and clouds with the moon and stars

what do think

Answer 1

Watercolor as a medium is ripe for experimentation. Brushed onto paper you have soaked in water, it will spread, creating fuzzy designs (not too wet or it will simply fade away!) Brushed on dry it will skip over the textures of the paper and leave a trail of color with sparkly white showing through. A strong wash sprinkled with salt as it is drying will turn into a splash of stars (hint . . . use indigo or a deep blue and salt and you do get stars!) One color dropped into another while both are still wet will lead to "charging" where one color pushes the other out of the way in interesting patterns.



Here is an example of a watercolor I did using salt to make stars (actually it is more like frost!): http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g172/lefthandedly/100_2126.jpg

Here is what you can do with masking fluid splattered on the paper before you begin painting, and you simply rub off the rubber-cement like fluid after it, and the artwork, is dry. Masking can be painted on or splattered, like I did here, or you can even mask with tape, removing it after the paint has dried: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g172/lefthandedly/100_0123_2.jpg



A neat trick to a clean and attractive finished painting is to tape it down to a board with painter's quick release tape, leaving at least 1" all around. When you finish and the painting is dry, removing the tape will reveal a clean white border!



Another little trick is to test colors on a scrap of paper before laying them down on your painting . . . this can help you avoid making "mud," which happens when too many colors, or colors from the wrong groups, are mixed together. I have done many paintings using only the three primary colors and mixing all the others myself: the only caution is to be sure you are not mixing warm and cool hues that will turn muddy. I use permanent rose, new gamboge and antwerp blue for primary color studies like this one: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g172/lefthandedly/100_2122.jpg



You could have lots of fun with a celestial theme . . . and with a little experimentation, you could discover a new planet!

Answer 2

Ok.



I suggest since spring is almost here that you should do something like this:



The colors orange, yellow, green and light blue, as the main background color.



Then a drawing of something with dark drab colors, like dark orange, brown.



I would paint, leaves in the foreground, with the spring colors in the background.

Answer 3

do contrast.

contrast rocks.

the end.



oh umm.. yeah I think you should do like a purple and yellow thing. just make sure they are the brightest colors of yellow and purple so they look good! Im not sure what things you could do though. Maybe a lemon with a purple background. Or baloons, or something.. you could do like orange and blue or red and green.

Hope I helped!!



Please answer mine!! =D
