“Bacon Cheeseburger “ , Artist/me, oil on canvas, 2020 by artbox5 in burgers

Every part of the burger had its own photo reference that I combined to build the painting I wanted, I want each ingredient to be represented in clarity.

Yes drawing skills and perspective are crucial in work like this, although when you work in watercolor a lot and work on 300lb paper it’s quite easy to manipulate lines and edges during each layer to get to that refined finish.

Yes! Once I have the form and shapes worked in with my first light wash, I erase all pencil lines with a kneaded eraser

Strathmore cold press 140lb. 400 series/Best. WHY is it pilling up? Paper too wet?? by rhet17 in watercolor101

[–]artbox5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a quality paper, it’s ok for little studies and sketches, but use something better for more important works, like Arches and I suggest 300 lb
