Great Job Bob, It's so important to celebrate the "Handpainted techniques" and inspire new talent. With so many young folk surendering the skill-sets and art form for "digital" shortcuts these days, it more important than ever to expose them to the tangible art forms.

Also self taught,

Thanx! BoB...it was very useful for me...I'm from India. I was wondering if you could help me with the painting of flowers...like daisies, lilies, roses, etc. with water colours...The shading and the detailing is the trickiest thing for me!!! Please help me!!!

[BobDavies88]

Hi there!

Flowers is a popular subject in watercolour and I've got a video planned for that subject in the next few weeks, so keep looking out. In the meantime, you can get delicate shading on petals by dampening each petal with water then touching one edge with a colour. The water then helps the paint flow very subtely across the petal. Hope this helps!

Cheers

Bob

r u a professional painter?

[BobDavies88]

Thanks for the comment. I teach art to kids of 7 - 70, as well as doing some commission work. The main thing is that I'm mostly self-taught and I promise, if I can do it, then so can anyone! This magic 'ability' that a lot of people think you have to be born with, is really "enthusiasm + practice = success = more enthusiasm = more practice = more success", etc. etc.

Enjoy your painting!

Cheers

Bob
