How to Paint Light in Watercolour

This is a pretty long video! It does show quite a few processes! This painting is all about attempting to capture light in watercolour! The white of the page is a great way to create light in a watercolour. I hope you enjoy the video! Let me know if you would prefer that I edit more out or have periods of time lapse so it is a shorter video that packs more punch.

This was painted on half a sheet of Rives BFK, 280gsm, white, etching paper. 28cm x 76cm.

The colours used were:
Yellow Ochre
Winsor Yellow
Mix of Cobalt Blue and Light Red
Mix of Winsor Blue (red shade) and Light Red
Cobalt Turquoise

The brushes used were:
multiple hake brushes - mostly 2 inch hake brushes Holbein, Ron Ranson and the Silver Brush Alpine White Blender (still goat hair and very similar to a hake).
The 4 inch hake brush to re-wet the page
My pure kolinsky size 12 round sable

Other things used were:
MDF board
3M magic tape to tape onto the board
Spray bottle
Razor blade
Metal ruler
Tissues
Salt
Tooth Brush

Happy painting everyone!

Cheers

Scott
