Description One last WiP for this one.. I'm working on some other things simultaneously, hence the rather slow process.

I've uploaded a very (!) short video on Youtube of me painting away on this. The video was mostly a test and not a serious project; I just set up the camera for a short session.
I'm warning you though, it's very boring.. ;) --> www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZKeI5…
Someone told me that they thought it looked almost like the vid was speeded up, but that's not the case, haha. I work fast sometimes and slow other times. I guess this was the former.

I liked so much the video. Always I like to see the artists in action, is very interesting to see some details like the way as you take the brushes, technique, etc.
Thanks for sharing, Camilla!

OMG! This painting goes from strength to strength, it's a true work of art Your skill with watercolour is simply mind-blowing! I know from my own experience how difficult this medium can be, yet you make it look so easy. Fantastic video btw, you have such an assured hand... and speedy too It's looking absolutely amazing Cami, i'm so looking forward to seeing the finished masterpiece

I can spot your "" a mile away Nigel , you really don't have to use them you know. ^^ I really appreciate your kind comment though, as always, thanks very much!
If the video was fantastic, it was thanks to your help with Adobe Premiere; I would never have had the time to read through books about the software to acquaint myself with it. I'm glad to have learnt something new in a day as well - just perfect. So thank you for that!
Hehe, I can be fast when I want to.. ;D Although you've seen me paint considerably slower.

I need to get over the uninspired phase I'm in the middle of atm, but hopefully I'll be able to finish this painting soon.

something about watching the steps taken towards a materpiece like this (and its not even finished...) is breath-taking thanks for sharing the video (and WIPs). AMAZING WORK!

I might upload another video in the future if I can manage to set up the camera a bit better. Hopefully I'll be able to catch some more interesting sequences then as well. ^^

Kick-Ass, woman!
And, despite your warning, I went and eyeballed the video. Actually quite enlightening. For instance, I noticed that you take really good care of your nails..

Seriously. I actually love watching these things. The whole process fascinates me and any chance to watch someone in the process of creating is tantamount to seeing AVATAR in 3-D or something.

Can't wait to see it finished.

Hehe, thanks so much!

I'm glad to hear that you liked the video - I hesitated quite a bit before uploading, since I didn't think it would be even remotely interesting for anyone to watch.
I had to sit in a rather cramped position, sort of leaning over the tripod; but if I can manage to set up the camera a bit better, maybe I could video a longer session of another painting where I make more progress. ^^

I have a few questions about this fabulous painting. Are you using tube watercolor paints? Cause I just bought them to try out watercolor. I would really appreciate some tips. Did you start with the background and did you wet the paper first? And how did you manage to get the owl to touch the background so cleanly? The hair on its neck.. Please explain your process as much as you can.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

CamillaMalcus In reply to kadiliis [2010-08-18 15:09:32 +0000 UTC]

I'm almost exclusively using pans.
It would be close to impossible to explain the whole process in mere words without writing a short novel, but I went about this painting the same way as I did this portrait here [link] , applying the same principles.
I hope you can get some tips from the tutorial and that you'll find it helpful.

Oh yes, I now remember having read this tutorial, but I wasnΒ΄t paying much attention back then. Got some useful tips, I guess IΒ΄ll search for more information on youtube to actually see it all done. About that masking tape and stretching the paper etc. So thanks much! Very well done.
