Description Winsor Newton watercolors on 4 x 6 scrap of Arches paper.


Another effort in my watercolor quest. This one started out as just an odd wet-on-wet experiment, but I liked the end result and so finished it by adding some trees and a lake (as per Gordon MacKenzie's book, "The Watercolorists' Essential Notebook".)

I love the glitter on the water, did you leave the paint off there to begin with, or scratch it in afterward?

LG-Young In reply to Starsong-Studio [2009-01-14 04:58:15 +0000 UTC]

Scratched it afterwards with sandpaper and an old credit card -- this book is so full of great tips!

Does it say "scratch with old credit card?" Really?

Gotta get that book. :grin:

LG-Young In reply to Starsong-Studio [2009-01-14 05:10:21 +0000 UTC]

Nope -- you use the credit card as a sort of ruler, so you can scratch in nice straight lines.
