Watercolour painting: a different approach.

Instead of the usual pale, pastel shades normally associated with water colour, Elizabeth Tyler uses strong colours and bold strokes, painting the background first, in this study of a wilted tulip. See another watercolour painting in progress at:

very nice painting...i loved it...thanxx for sharing it...but i wanted to ask u one thing what have u used for covering ur drawing... i guess a plastic and masking?? what is actually this maskin liquid plzz tell...thanxx...

[pogdsmor]

@Anchal121 Yes it's plastic, any transparent plastic will do. Art Masking fluid is a solution of latex rubber with ammonia and pigment. Most art material suppliers have it.

The music that starts at about 2:30- who and what is it please? (Sounds like a soundtrack for a nature documentary!). Very nice painting- this is exactly the type of thing I am aiming for- I hate the wishy-washy washed-out paintings that 90% of artists make with watercolor. It's such a beautiful medium, but often wasted.

@3fty665

The music is a jingle called Jaracanda, included in imovie media, you probably already have it if you're using a Mac.

Glad you like the painting. I have some more, just search for pogdsmor.

could i ask a question?wat do u attach ur watercolour canvas paper to?ive seen some of ur other vids...is it like just simple tape? and is it to make sure ur paper doesnt curdle up after uve added water?

[pogdsmor]

Reply from Elizabeth Tyler:

To prevent buckling I use 300 gr. arches paper, stretched onto a drawing board with gummed, white acid-free paper tape (ordinary tape peels off when wet) by using acid free you can leave the tape on the paper after cutting the painting loose. You can buy the tape at artists material suppliers or art framing workshops.

Just beautiful. You are quite an inspiration.

Hello, Thanks for sharing your wonder talent and information. Its very inspirational! I am wondering why you used plastic and tape instead of frisket? Is it because of the price different?

Awesome Art!!!!!!

Just discovered your work and I am finding it really inspirational. I have always wanted to use darker strong colours in my watercolour paintings and found that it has always been looked down on by teachers etc, so thank you for making me want to go out and paint again!

[KeyserSoseRulz]

Could you please tell me what pen you use for the detail, and do you fill it with watercolour paint? or is it a waterbased ink in a similar colour?
