| 19 Dec 2004 |  Jennifer Russo |  Loading...*licks* Is that salt in the background? I really like the starburst effect that salt has on dilute watercolor. Anyway, the composition of this piece is nice-it's ALWAYS a good idea to keep more bluish tones in the back and more yellowish tones in the front. Ie, for an orange, green, yellow, or red pic, use a purple or blue background. It's a lot easier on the eye and "reads" better as positive space. You should try working on a larger scale with watercolor, using broad, flat strokes instead of trying to do tiny details. Detail in watercolor can drive you nuts!  Saskia H.

| 21 Dec 2007 |  Dave Cripps | Loading... LOL water-colours are EVIL! Especially if it's one of your first attempts. They like to run into each other and lift what you did earlier.... *Shakes fist* But you know the sky is bright and has got an interesting quality to it. Saskia H. Suurling replies: "Thank you for your comment. Again! I'm still having a lot of trouble with watercolour but it is getting better" | |

| 21 Jan 2008 |  Matthias Schmidt | Loading... I haven’t used water colours since I was little. They were standard at school, but now I’m mainly using acrylic when I want to make something coloured. Oh, and your dragon is nice  Saskia H. Suurling replies: "Thanks! I find watercolour very hard to work with, I prefer acrylics but when I see what other people can do with watercolour I want to do that too." | |
