I have started doing some larger water colour images. I painted on brown paper, as I through that it would make an interesting contrast with the bright paint and darker brown. Using that medium just made it harder to see the paints.
So next time I will use lighter colour paper so that I can see the images on the paper better. Also I could use different types of paper to see how if affects the way the paint lay on top of the surface. This would make an interesting activity to do.
Another problem that I find was that the colours did not show up very well. Due to the brown of the paper, but also because of the way I mixed them. I need to work on adding more water so that I can make the colours richer, so they can become clear on the page.
This way I will be able to create a greater depth with them and make the work look more real and effective.
Need to practice more with painting with a brush so that I can make the people look more 3-D, rather then flat.
