Hello steemains!
Today I began to check the paper arches, the hot seal of 185 grams. It is smooth and designed for careful study of the details of the picture. I never painted on such a paper before, and within the first two hours, I will be honest, I thought that nothing will turn out already. The fact is that it dries very fast. And I did not get any smooth transitions. The picture turned out bad. I just did not know what to do about it. I tried different brushes, changed the saturation of colors - nothing helped. In addition, the paper wrinkled in the most unexpected places from moisture. For some reason it seems to me that this paper is thinner than the last, on which I made a portrait of a woman wearing glasses and a cat. Although both leaves are 185 grams. Somewhere in the middle of the process, I "got the hump" and drenched a picture in the bathroom on both sides. I deleted all the pears with a solid brush. And after that something finally started to work. The shadow was not washed away, so it remained ugly. I will show you the process of drawing.
I drew a lesson from the Russian watercolorist Tatyana Shirbidova. She is the author of the photo.
This is a reference:
Here at this stage I decided to wet everything and smudge it. After I did this, the picture got better. Sheet smoothed.
