Watercolor painting tips

picture from www.aotw.com

Watercolor has a reputation for being very demanding, it is more accurate to say that the techniques of watercolor are unique to the watercolor. Unlike oil or acrylic paint, which paints mostly stay where they are dry and more or less in the form in which they are applied, water is a complex and active partner in the process of watercolour, changing both the absorptive capacity and the shape of the paper when it is wet and the contours and the appearance of the paint as it dries. The difficulty of watercolor is almost entirely to learn to anticipate and take advantage of the behaviour of the water, rather than try to control or dominate.

the problems of watercolor painting proses because the watercolor paints is not of high hiding power, and past efforts can not simply be painted over, and the absorbent paper and is difficult, unlike an oil painting on canvas. Watercolor has a longstanding association with drawing, and sometimes we can make mistakes to make precise, make outline with pencil drawing of the object to paint, use small brushes and paint areas after dried.

Watercolor painting is traditionally, and always applied with brushes, buy you can make experiment and have combined with watercolor pencil, charcoal , pencils, chalk, ink, etching, monotype, lithography and collage, or with acrylic paint.

Brief History Of Oil Painting

The Mediterranean societies of antiquity, most notably the Greeks, the Egyptians and the Romans used a paint that consisted of a mixture of beeswax encaustic, mineral pigments like iron or copper and tempera. vegetal like flax, walnut and poppy seed oil were known to these cultures, but there is no specific indication that they were used in paint.

This method of paint creation, as with so much ancient technology, was lost in the intervening years, the final blow to paint creation likely being the fall of Rome. Thereafter the encaustic paint was replaced by oil or tempera paints.

Tempera paint is a mixture of an organic binder such as whole eggs or animal glue, water, and vegetal essential oils. It has a thinner consistency than oil paint and dries much quicker.


Oil paint on the other hand, uses oil as a binder. In Italy during the time of the Renaissance, the most commonly used oil for this purpose was olive oil as it was inexpensive and readily available. However, it had an excessive drying time that was especially tedious in the case of figures. So tedious in fact that it lead a German monk by the name of Theophilus to warn against the use of oil paint recipes including olive oil in the 12th century in his book Schoedula Diversarum Artium.

Among other techniques was the use of a drying oil as a varnish on paintings, such as the technique referred to by 5th century medical writer Aetius Amidenus. In the 8th century, the Japanese mixed lead with Perilla oil, and in the 14th century, Italian artist Cennino Cennini used a painting technique that involved covering tempera paintings with light oily layers.

According to Le vite de piu eccelenti pittori, scultori e architetori, Firenze, 1550 (Lives of the Artists) by Giorgio Vasari, the oil painting technique was invented –or rather reinvented- in Europe by the well-known Flemish artist Jan van Eyck in or around 1410. He was not the first to use oil painting, but rather was the first to make use of a stable varnishing utilizing siccative oil, namely linseed. Walnut oil and poppy seed oil were also in use, but were not as quick-drying as linseed oil. These oils allowed for much faster drying of paint on canvas under the sun. Jan van Eyck kept his secret until about 1440, a year before his death.

After van Eyck, several painters made improvements on the formula, such as Antonella De Massina (1430-1479), Michelangelo, Da Vinci (1452-1519) and Titian (1488-1576) among others. These secrets remained in Italy throughout much of the Renaissance, thus creating the supremacy among Italian Renaissance paintings.

Today, linseed oil is still the preferred oil in the creation of oil paintings, and can be easily made at home.

Georges Seurat: The Drawings


Once described as "the most beautiful painter's drawings in existence," Georges Seurat's mysterious and luminous works on paper played a crucial role in his short, vibrant career. This comprehensive publication surveys the artist's entire oeuvre, from his academic training and the emergence of his unique methods to the studies made for his monumental canvases.

Accompanying the first exhibition in almost 25 years to focus exclusively on Seurat's drawings, this volume presents approximately 130 works, primarily the artist's incomparable conte drawings along with a small selection of oil sketches and paintings. In an effort to bridge the seemingly opposite goals of description and evocation, Seurat masses dark and light tones to abstract figures, exploits medium and paper to amplify radiating light, and engages with the Parisian metropolis, revealing urban types, the industrial suburbs and nineteenth-century entertainment. Though Seurat is perhaps best known as the inventor of Pointillism, this volume demonstrates his tremendous achievement as a draftsman and his fundamental importance to the art of the twentieth century. It includes carefully selected details of the work, as well as reproductions from pages of Seurat's sketchbooks, which have never before been published. Texts by Jodi Hauptman, Karl Buchberg, Hubert Damisch, Bridget Riley, Richard Shiff and Richard Thomson address specific aspects of Seurat's techniques, materials, and subject matter. They are rounded out by a chronology, a selected bibliography and a detailed checklist.

Abstract Painting: Concepts and Techniques


Until now, the techniques used to create great abstract paintings were surrounded by a veil of mystery. Abstract Painting: Concepts and Techniques lifts that veil to reveal the exact methods behind the masterworks. Now students and professional artists can stop guessing and start building on the techniques of the great abstract artists to create their own innovative new work.

Two clear, comprehensible sections let artists focus quickly on their specific areas of interest. The first section, on Traditional Painterly Abstraction, using brush and easel, looks at pictorial space, brushwork, paint quality, and collage. The second section, on Post-Painterly Modern Abstraction, considers options ranging from the pour-and-spatter techniques of Jackson Pollock to the staining, scraping, and abrading of modern acrylic artists. Step-by-step recipes for key approaches show artists how to get the best aesthetic results, freeing them to move forward philosophically

Wagner 1-Gallon Wallpaper Steamer #705


Removing wallpaper often ends by removing a portion of the sheet rock or plaster. No matter how careful you are with the putty knife you are going to do more harm than anticipated.

For years, contractors have relied on the power of steam to separate paper from the surface and now that same power is available for the DIY'er in Wagner 705 Electric Wallpaper Steamer. Simply insert the 8-inch or 11-inch steam plate coverage against the paper surface and viola, paper practically peels himself. You can use the steam until 1-1/4 hours on a single filling of the 1 gallons reservoir in addition to the 11-foot hose allows the user to move freely in the rooms without disrupting the tank.
