Textured Watercolor paper

Texture is a visual surface charatestics added to the work of art. It also means the physicality of colors variation of depth in a painting.

There are four different kinds; actual texture, implied texture, invented texture and abstract textur.

Here the image is got the gesso effect where the paint is applied after the gesso brushed.

There are 3 ways to apply watercolor texture

1. Chop sticks or straw

2. Cling wrap

3. Bubble wrap 

Watercolor paper comes in two sides — one side has a smooth side and one side has a rough or textured side. It is best to use the textured side for the textured works on rough paper.

But at the same time “whichever side you like to use” you could use both sides. The only real difference being a subtle variation in texture. Watercolor medium is the hardest to paint then the opaque medium Acrylic or Oil paint. Where the mistakes are difficult to erase as the appear in the layers applied on to the watercolor paper.

Now, this is a lifting technique on watercolor paper and then used the chalk paint to give a white Font type.

this is with the masking tape where you cover the tree area and then do the first wash as a background. Then you let the color dry. After the color dries you can paint nature the way you want just like I have done.

Whichever way you can get do the shade part first and then the resist pattern tile or vice versa. This is done exclusively on Watercolor paper.

Draw the image and sketch the Font type letters in Microtip pen. You will see an amazing results.

This frame is so fabulous that I painted the Whimsical patterns then the florals painting and over that outlining with black microtip pen. It was trying to hold my breath till it got finished. And I drew the background with Photoshop technique.

Here is the best way to practice your watercolor techniques. And I will send some more  pictures of Watercolor technique as soon as I get them done 👍🏻👍🏻.
