"Sunflower Burst" Transparent Watercolor Demonstration

This painting was accomplished using transparent watercolors on a quarter sheet ( 11” x 15”) of 140 lb cold press Lanaquarelle watercolor paper. The colors used were Sap green, Pyrrole Red, Quinacridone Gold, Quinacridone Coral, Gamboge, Qinacridone Violet, Muave, Royal Blue, and Alizarin Crimson . I also used a very fine mist spray bottle made by Atelier. If you learned from and enjoyed this demonstration be sure to like, subscribe, and turn on your post notifications.

[@knittermom07]

I’m completely obsessed with the purples and the oranges in the upper right hand corner.

Absolutely beautiful......

Thank you Anna !

[@maryalgar8779]

Love the "glow" you achieved in upper corner of background. I wasn't sure when you started to add the orange tones (how appeared on my screen - Quin Coral?), but in the end it all came together. The sunflowers are glowing. Another great video Rick.

[@RickSurowiczWatercolor]

Thanks Mary! Yes, the glow is Quinacridone Coral and Quinacridone Gold. I just picked up some of that mixture and worked it into the wash I was putting down then went back to the red purple tone.

[@lindabrunelle5132]

Thank you!

[@108Romato]

Thanks again for these precious demos. I have not watched them all and I wondered if you made one that focused more particularly on layering or glazing wet on dry with real time step by step. Many thanks.

[@RickSurowiczWatercolor]

Thank you Marie for asking! Here are links to a few you can look at and see if they are what you are looking for.

Thank you !

[@LadyLeda2]

Beautiful!!! Ever think about teaching on line?

[@RickSurowiczWatercolor]

Thanks Laurie! That's actually something I have planned in the future to some degree. I've started with self paced online courses, which are now available, but I plan to expand that. Thanks for asking!

[@TXDHC]

Amazing!!! Thank you! I'm committing 366 in 2020 to doing 1 watercolor a day! May I ask, what was the tool you scraped across your painting to reveal white lines? Did i miss a step? What was on the paper? Masking fluid? Thanks again.

[@RickSurowiczWatercolor]

Yes Masking fluid. I removed it with a rubber cement pick up eraser. This link will take you to the masking suppllies I use: rsurowiczart.com/sp-masking/

[@maryalgar8779]

Are you a Daniel Smith water-colour fan Rick? They have quite a line of quinacridone colours, so can I assume your Quin. Coral is DS's brand?

[@RickSurowiczWatercolor]

Yes I am a fan of DS watercolors. My Quinacridone Coral and Quinacridone Gold are DS. My Quinacridone violet is American Journey. My Quinacridone Gold is the recently discontinued PO 49 formula which I was able to get enough of to hold me over for a while.

He lists all the paints he has on his palette on his website. rsurowiczart.com/studio/ scroll down to the paint section.

[@bobbiecapobianco5114]

I make several attempts at each painting, redrawing it each time. The skill I am trying to develop is watercolor yet I spend a lot of time drawing. Is it a better idea to draw it once and transfer to the watercolor color paper each time?

[@RickSurowiczWatercolor]

When I have a subject that I'm going to paint multiple times with different techniques. I draw it once and transfer it as you suggest.

[@fouziasharmin6218]

Too difficult

[@theamateurpoint8755]

Gorgeous!!

[@RickSurowiczWatercolor]

Thanks ! These are fun to paint !!!
