10 ways to paint realistic watercolor textures. Let me give you some tips, trick and techniques for texture painting.
Our wildlife paintings very often incorporate other elements, a rusty gate, a piece of wood, some stones or pebbles or even water. This video shows you how to ensure these textured surfaces look as realistic as the bird or animal you are painting.
Each of the examples is taken from a full length, real time tutorial. If you are interested in watching the complete tutorials they are all available within my online schools. You can become a member on both my website (www.devonartis...) or on Patreon ( / thedevonartist )
For a re-cap on some of the techniques shown in this video remember to take a look at the Old Wooden Gate study: • 3 Different Watercolor... and see if you can spot some things we have learnt about today.

@TheDevonArtist 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Chiara, that's a good idea for the metalwork. The main video on my website is much more involved as these are snippets from that particular video my members watch. devonartist.co.uk/memberships/ Just remember to really zoom into a photo and try to isolate the area you are working on by using a piece of card with a hole cut out of it, then lightly taping it over the top of the photograph. This will help you concentrate on just that one area and fingers crossed to see more of the colours and details. Paul 🎨

Hi Sandra, that's very kind of you to say. As you know, it doesn't matter when in life we take up art, it's the enjoyment that matters, not so much the ability. But the more we do, the more we learn, and I'm still learning after over 40+ years of painting, something we will never stop doing. Paul 🎨

I like water. But something I wasn't actively thinking about is the reflection from the sky. 13:35 14:43 Great hint about putting paper around the tree, etc to confine the spater technique. First time I've listened/watched your video. I've already subscribed. How about doing a background for a couple of blooms & leaves? 13:40

Thank you, a lovely idea about the backgrounds, I will certainly add it to my list for you. 😀

Thank you for sharing your talent & knowledge! Doing texture is harder for me (just beginning) & can do first washes but get stuck on exactly where to put them!

You are so welcome! Remember to zoom into a reference photograph and look deep behind those details for the background colours. 😉

@@TheDevonArtist I made two papers w the square cut out in middle & is amazing how then (on reference photo) can see smaller places & the colors!

Great video. Thank you Paul for sharing! BTW, I love love the tape with the feathers you are using on the borders. So pretty!

Thanks Visa, yes there are many designs for the washi tape out there. Have a look on some of the shopping sites and see the mass of choices. Paul 🎨

This is too amazing for words!!!! I so badly wish you had full length tutorial on creating texture. Once I started feeling good about my watercolor I started wanting to add texture and it’s a completely new and different skill… how did miss how important this is? Are you working on hot press paper? I have a terrible time trying to create texture on cold press. I can’t get those fine lines

Glad my video was helpful Katherine. I use cold pressed 140lb Bockingford paper, which I've used for many years. I do have a couple of playlists on painting texture is it helps. bit.ly/3IksjmU bit.ly/35z8Spe Thank you, Paul 🎨
