I have always wanted to draw postcards and send them to my muse and my friends. I used to stock up on a kind of British watercolor paper. The size is the size of a postcard. The postcard style has been printed on the reverse side. The weight is 300 grams.
Composition + hand-painted DIY fresh postcard. The first is the composition. In order to make a tutorial, I was a little cautious and made a sketch first. In fact, I usually start the draft directly, and I am not in the habit of drawing sketches. But it is good to be careful when painting watercolors. The sketch is basically ready. I expressed what I meant, so I drew it on watercolor paper. By the way, I think Zhonghua brand pencils are much easier to use than imported ones, but they look a bit ordinary.
Before the official coloring, I added some content to make the picture richer. Because it is a small painting, there is no complicated background, so I started coloring directly from the parts I like. I painted rough first, and then painted the green before it was dry. When it is transparent, add some yellow. You can also paint yellow first, and then add green. The latter will make the painting cleaner. When painting watercolors, it is recommended to start with light colors (although I often mess around), so that the colors will not get dirty easily.< /p>
Start drawing Mr. Bird~ Start with light colors, first draw the bird’s belly (see how good I am this time~). Add some red when it is wet to make the color more comfortable.
I started to draw the back and wings. I used my favorite purple (selfishness, selfishness~). The picture is relatively small, so you have to be careful when painting. Patience is very important in watercolor painting~
This is actually the time for detailing. I have painted all the patterns on the wings, painted the birds beak, and slightly corrected the previously painted parts.
Entering the finishing stage. After drawing the remaining details, the drawing is about to be completed~
Finally, write the words and you’re done. Although it is a simple small painting, it pays great attention to the details. The overall effect is still satisfactory. I am a little reluctant to send it~ but againWorried that the other party won’t like it~
Actually, painting watercolors is not difficult. Don’t be impatient at the beginning. It doesn’t matter if you see the color is a little out of control. After it dries, you can add a layer of color on top. Everyone must Be patient.
