A colourful character like this can prove a daunting prospect when aiming for a realistic result in watercolour.

I began with the black areas, using the same combination of Payne’s Gray and Burnt Sienna as before, only much thicker this time. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. They are sent in the UK via Royal Mail 1st Class, and abroad via Airmail, within 2 days of receiving payment, and usually next day.We and our partners use cookies and similar tech to improve your site experience, show you personalised ads, and learn from your behaviour so we can, for example, recommend products you'll love! Working with pale paint mixes like this also means we can layer up to get dark enough, achieving texture with our brush markings and adjusting our mixes as we gradually build up the painting. These included the eyes, the main areas of highlight on the skin, and dots and lines on the legs and between toes.

Unlike thin posters and paper prints, Giclée canvas artwork offers the texture, look and feel of fine-art paintings. This artwork is crafted in the United Kingdom with artist-grade canvas, professionally hand-stretched, and stapled over pinewood bars in gallery wrap style, a method utilized by artists to present artwork in galleries.I left gaps wherever there were lighter colours and overlapped my paint on the transitions between colours. I worked on the lighter parts of the bamboo using a watery Payne’s Gray and Winsor Blue Green Shade mix for the highlight area and a (mostly) Winsor Lemon, Permanent Sap Green and Winsor Blue (Green Shade) mix for the yellow-green parts. Having worked on each colour area separately, it was now time to step back and assess the painting as a whole. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US.
