minus-squareKatyacat1linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoHow did you get watercolor to make the texture of the blue red yellow and white sections? I get how to do that with acrylic but not watercolor.
minus-squarekendg@lemmy.cafeOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoI use watercolor from tubes, similar to the acrylic paints that come in tubes. Like these https://www.hobbylobby.com/art-supplies/painting-supplies/watercolor-painting/watercolor-paint---24-piece-set/p/81073667 I’m what my sister-in-law calls a naive artist (I don’t know the “proper” techniques so I do things my own way).
minus-squareKatyacat1linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoThanks. I didn’t realize one could use them out of the tube for that effect. I’ve only ever used either the pan watercolors or watered down the tube water colors. This opens up a whole new world on what can be done.
