I have worked on an IRIS TUTORIAL for my watercolor class next week. It will be a simple project to illustrate how I achieve a certain effect in paiting flowers.
This is a slightly abbreviated version-- but here are some steps.
The glaze in the background was added first-- and the rest of the painting follows as you see.
Pigments are:
Winsor Newton
Cobalt Turquoise Light
Aureolin
Winsor Green YS
French Ultramarine Blue
Prussian Blue
Daniel Smith
Quinacridone Burnt Orange
Holbein
Mineral Violet
Thank you very much, Carol!
