Heartbeat
of
Poured
Watercolor
21x28"
Today's
question is from Kathleen.
Her question is about my poured watercolors. She asks,
How
do you continue to see the underneath drawing between layers so you can
accurately mask?
Usually
when you draw out your image on watercolor paper, you don't want the pencil
lines to be too dark.
However,
in this case, you do want the pencil lines dark.
It
can be difficult to see the pencil lines through all the layers so I start off
with them being really dark.
They
will fade with each successive layer of water and paint that you put on.
And
if the pencil line is too dark in a white area, the mask usually lifts it when
the masking fluid is taken off.
