Reopening art studio and returning to painting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you probably know, it isn\u2019t easy to restart anything after a long absence. My health took a big blow, so I am just starting out again. This time, I decided to make my return with a flower painting on Arches cotton paper. As always, it\u2019s quite large since I completely dislike painting tiny art. I have still some issues, therefore, I am limiting my painting activities to 2-3 hours a day. The flower painting took me about 6 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 years in making<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no doubt, cotton paper is the easiest paper to paint on, yet, it has become extremely expensive. Many of my watercolor paintings are drawing-based. I don\u2019t aim for copying the reality, but I want my subject to be recognizable and having some emotional impact. I had begun this particular painting with a drawing which I did some 12 years ago. The paper is good and why to waste it? While I had no other reference, but only the drawing, I still tried to figure out how to proceed progressing slowly and cautiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Painting in layers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pink<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Pink<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I usually paint in layers, especially when it comes to complex subject with many parts. Since I don\u2019t have a photo or the actual flowers, the first layers help me understand what and where to place and what colors to use. I make my drawing very light in order the graphite pencil wouldn\u2019t shine through too much. Every subsequent layer will add more vibrance and increase the value intensity wherever necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Color temperature and values<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only flower painting in watercolor, but also any other complex subject we paint, benefits from coordination of color temperature and values. I certainly start out light, just because I don\u2019t know exactly where what should be. In this case, I also leaved the background white for a while. The paper I am using isn\u2019t the bright white, but somewhat off-white. Nevertheless, colors shine and make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing warm and cool colors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beautiful soft colors for attractive flower painting. I used a few red tones and also quite a few yellow shades for the most important areas. The green colors are a combination of blue, Payne\u2019s grey and different shades of yellow and green. I normally allow colors mixing on paper, but sometimes I need strong pure color to add the vibrancy. You probably won\u2019t notice on photos much difference in warm and cold colors, and iPhone doesn\u2019t like light colors making them practically white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flower painting that soothes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I intentionally kept everything rather calm and soft. I think the slight shades of background help. I am very satisfied with the finished painting and not that much with the photos of it. When viewing art online, you have to always remember that there are numerous devices and apps involved. Also, large painting online looks exactly like the small ones, but in reality, that makes all the difference. I hope this flower painting will make you feel good and calm just like it helped me to overcome pain and health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
