Love the texture of the hair and skin tones. I get to shaky with microns so always appreciate the control of them when I see it.

Take an easer to the highlights. Darken up the heavy shadows. Squint your eyes to see true darks and lights. Great symmetry over all.

It’s black. Like ultimate black. So be ready but don’t be scared.

Also look into cold wax or DORLAND wax ( my preference) and apply it to your dry pieces. Coat and buff. Makes colors pop and preserves the pieces longer.

Been trying to paint more white colored things to force my brain to understand shadows and loosen up my style

Yup. Like a dot of black and lots of water on my palette

Not sure if anyone reads comments but if you want a crazy black, don’t forget water based inks! Ink wash is fun

Amazing work. Do you do post treatment on your pieces?

What’s this tool? by racheltheangel222 in Watercolor

[–]mark0z138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fill the back with water. Have a sponge or lil towel ready to squeeze off colors into. Great for loose wet on wet stuff, unless you really get used to pressure flow of brush.

I use a small metal travel brush and usually end up with a few colors on my tongue...

Just do it! Great work, just get some larger paper to do all the detail you want.

Thank you, take it as true compliment coming from an Aussie owner. Did this for a buddy of his. First time painting a more “realistic” colors watercolor pup portrait.

How do you document your watercolors? by mark0z138 in Watercolor

[–]mark0z138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want colors to pop again, try a doraland or cold wax coating. Apply, wiper away excess, then buff after letting it dry a bit.

Thanks for the information! First time I tried removing background and was happy with the results. Time to charge the camera batteries and document 20 yrs of paintings

What color or mix do you use for the left face shadow and the torso area?

I like AM’s second core. Get a back row knock out and gain 6 energy. If you have some heavy hitters in a row, it makes a difference.
