Red Black and Gold is the Secret to this Watercolor Painting

Hey everyone! Today we're exploring a red, black, and gold colour scheme with a moody watercolor crow painting. I'm using a palette of M.Graham and Daniel Smith paints (listed further below in the materials section), and a handful of metallic gold leaves.

So glad to see you back ❤

[@kinestet_art]

Nice moody video! You've inspired me to mess with gold foil👌

[@laforza8]

Love this so much...id love to try it

[@melodies_are_alive]

Very well rendered, especially the crow! I was vastly amused by the reference to the Halloween season - the blood moon color mix as "ritual blood', the crow suggesting Poe's beautiful 'The Raven' poem - and all this with that delightful juxtaposition country serene scene music in the background. A suggestion regarding the gold leaf areas using an old Chinese technique: 1st underpaint the branch lines using a VERY bright red, let that dry, and then apply glue and afterwards gold leafing. The leaves are so thin that they DO let through undertones - giving dimension and richness to the gold color. Happy (?) Halloween! 🙂

Buff Titanium is my jam. 😎

[@boxesofsheep]

For a while I was like, what is this even for?? And now I can't stop using it. 😂

[@l.e.phillips]

@@boxesofsheep I feel like I don’t use it enough! I made a bunch of swatches in my sketchbook of it mixed with different colors, and love it, but never know how to incorporate it into actual work. 😂 I guess I just need to start with it, lol.

[@NinaQueena]

Why there are sooo few videos at the moment?? 😢 Please more videos 🙏

[@boxesofsheep]

Awww I'm glad that you want more 🥺❤ I'm dealing with some major eye issues right now unfortunately and can't make too many videos. But hopefully when it heals!!
