How to Paint the Tea Towel in Still Life Study Using Digital Watercolours

Tweet

• Tea Towel: (On a new layer) Soft Broad Brush in a very pale blue with 0% wet fringe to do a wash of the tea towel areas
• Stripes: (On a new layer) Very subtle gradations of the colour blue using a PSW flattened slightly.
• Use big enough brushes to not have to make a lot of strokes
• Reduce the opacity on the Layers slider to make the horizontal stripes lighter in colour because you will need to add more blue to build the vertical stripes.
• Fine Tip Marker (On a new layer) in a darker blue to do the intersections in  the stripes, then blend with Soft  Pointed Stump Blender (regular) or Just Add Water Blender (JAW)
• Try to leave a little bit of darker paint on the darker edges of the vertical strips
• Reduce the opacity on the Layers slider to reduce the intensity of the blue
• Pure Water Brush (On a new layer) with an 85% wet fringe used to glaze over the shadows on the tea towel leaving a darker fringe. You will notice that only the outside edges of these strokes will have a darker fringe.

 

• Pointed Simple Water (PSW) (On a new layer) wash for darker shadows in tea towel
• Fine Tip Marker (On a new layer) in royal blue to add darker stripes
• Blend with JAW
• add a little WC glaze (On a new WC layer)
• you can Adjust the Colour of this area if it is not the correct blue (in Effects menu)
