크리스마스 수채화: 단계별 튜토리얼

Red and green are complementary colors (opposites). If you paint wet red ornaments directly into a wet green tree, they mix into a muddy brown. The fix? Let your green tree layer dry completely before adding red details, or leave a tiny white gap between the colors so they don’t touch. Do I need to draw a pencil sketch first? For this loose style, try to skip the pencil! Pencil lines can make you feel like you have to "color inside the lines," which kills the fresh, expressive vibe. Trust your brush to make the triangle shape for the tree and the "J" shape for the stocking. Use your pen at the end to add definition. How do I stop my paper from wrinkling? Water causes paper to buckle. Ensure you are using at least 140lb (300gsm) watercolor paper, which is thick enough to handle the wash. For extra flatness, use masking tape to tape the edges of your paper to the table before you start, and don’t peel it off until the painting is bone dry.
