Seeking an introduction to solid watercolor and ordinary watercolor, 5

The water content of solid watercolor is relatively low, and it is in a solidified and dry state, so you need to use a pen dipped in water to apply the surface of the pigment and dissolve the pigment for use. Tube watercolor paints contain more water and are paste-like, which can be squeezed into a watercolor palette and then mixed with water and other colors with a pen.

The difference is that the glue and toner in the former pigment are mixed evenly and are not easy to separate, the stability of the pigment in the tube is not as good as the solid pigment, and it will be degummed in the tube after a long time, and the common problem is that the newly bought pigment is opened and the transparent glue is extruded first, and then the pigment, so that the content of the glue in the pigment is difficult to ensure that the proportion is stable, and it is not very good. However, Chinese students, who are accustomed to using tube-sized gouache paints and tube-sized Chinese painting paints, find it difficult to adapt to the use of solid pigments, preferring to squeeze them out of the tubes and use them, which is actually not beneficial, but only increases waste. In the Western countries market, there is no sale of tube-packed watercolor pigments, they are all solid colors, and the quality is much better than the domestic tube-packed pigments, the purity and hue of the color are very stable and excellent, the transparency is also good, and after drying, it will show a perfect transparency effect when covered with other colors, which are related to the pigment toner and glue.

Therefore, from a practical point of view, it is better to import solid colors, of course, it is more expensive, and users need to develop good working habits, be clean, pay attention to try to avoid mixing too many colors when tinting, and pay attention to tinting techniques, so as not to make each solid color surface covered with a layer of dirty dirt.

Windsor Newton's it, **see**.

The use of solid watercolor is taught as follows:

1.The method of use is very simple, if you buy a set, the small box of each color should be fixed in a large box and not taken out.

2.When painting, you should prepare another palette, you can use a porcelain plate or a plastic one, first dip a brush in water, and then use the tip of the pen to gently rub the surface of the paint block, the color is easy to dissolve, and then in the palette can be used to reconcile.

Content expansion: Solid watercolor paint is first dipped in a drop of water with a brush in the paint box, and let it stand for a while to allow the pigment to soften to improve the color. If you want to mix it with other colors, you can use a brush dipped in water to extract the colors directly in the color palette.

The reason why solid watercolor is better than tube is because the watercolor pigment powder is relatively fine and the glue is relatively large, which is also the main reason why the high transparency of watercolor pigment can be covered and dyed in multiple layers, this pigment is easy to degum in a wet state, and domestic tube watercolor can often be found to overflow transparent glue as soon as the lid is opened, which will lead to a decrease in the quality of the pigment, while solid watercolor does not have this problem.

The difference between solid watercolor and tubular watercolor is: 1. Different forms: solid watercolor belongs to solid watercolor, and tubular watercolor belongs to liquid watercolor; 2. Different:

Solid watercolor** is higher than tubular watercolor**; 3. Different applications: solid watercolor is suitable for painting small paintings or processing the details of paintings, and tubular watercolor is suitable for painting large paintings, and halo color.

Solid watercolor. Solid watercolor is a concentrated solid watercolor, which must be dipped in a brush to remove water droplets in the paint box before use, and let stand for a while for the paint to soften before use.

If you need to mix with other colors, you can use a brush dipped in water to extract the colors directly in the color palette, but you can't mix multiple colors at once. After using solid watercolor, keep the inside of the box dry to close the box.

Tubular watercolor. Tubular watercolor has a strong fluidity, so you need to squeeze it into the palette and mix the pigment from the edge of the pigment with a water-soaked brush dipped in water.

With the same material, color tone, and paper type, solid watercolor is more transparent and transparent than tubular color; Tubular colors are more vivid and easier to mix.

1. Gouache is a pigment with a higher consistency than the watercolor of the stool socks, and the effect of the two is transparent and bright compared with the watercolor, while the gouache is more vivid and heavy.

2. A large amount of white powder is added to the production of gouache and coarse materials, which has a strong covering power and is very suitable for covering with very thick pigments; Watercolor paints are relatively pure, except for a few pigments, rarely mixed with white powder, so it has no covering power, it is very transparent, and can only be layered with very thin colors when painting.

3. The painting procedure is different. The procedure for gouache painting is basically to paint dark colors first, then light colors. The brighter and whiter the color, the more important it is to be portrayed at the end. Watercolor, on the other hand, paints light colors first, then dark colors, and the brighter the one, the better it must be depicted first.

Text tutorials are available to everyone.

1.Solid watercolor paints.

2.paper (preferably watercolor paper).

3.Watercolor brushes.

4.Clean water and cloth towels.

Step Keezemin:

Prepare the materials and choose a piece of paper suitable for watercolor painting, preferably a professional watercolor paper. Place the paper on a leveling workbench.

2.To prepare the paint, place the solid watercolor paint in a drawing plate, add a small amount of water and stir well to make the paint a paste.

3.Select the brush and choose a different size brush as needed.

4.Dip a dry brush with an appropriate amount of paint, and test the effect of the paint on the drawing board to confirm the color, concentration, etc. Then start painting.

5.Before painting, the main lines (figures) should be drawn with a pencil according to the designed composition, and then quietly colored.

6.Start with the darkest color and apply the brush evenly over the entire area, then slowly add lighter colors to fade the color.

7.Pay attention to the concentration of the pigment and the amount of water, if the pigment is too thick, it will affect the diffusion effect, if it is too thin, the color will fade.

8.After the paint is used, wipe the brush with cloth paper, and pay attention to the cleanliness of the brush when painting in color, so as not to mix the colors.

9.Once the colors are completely dry, re-use the brush to reinforce the details and add details.

10.Leave it for a few days to allow the colors to dry well. Do not lightly leave the painting in the sun during the production process to prevent discoloration or even damage.

Summary: Solid watercolor painting has the advantages of bright color, strong plasticity, and great ornamentality, and is a form of painting with great artistic value. But it also requires us to have a certain foundation and skills, and through continuous practice and practice, we can draw high-level watercolor paintings.

The correct way to use solid watercolor is as follows:

1. First of all, you need to prepare a palette, which can be porcelain or plastic;

2. Then use a pen dipped in water;

3. Gently rub the surface of the paint block with the tip of the pen, so that the color is easy to dissolve;

4. Finally, put it into the palette for blending.

Solid watercolor has the advantages of easy to carry and high saturation, because solid watercolor is solid block, so the volume is relatively small, 48 colors of watercolor can be loaded in a small box, and then used with a fountain pen can be used to paint anytime and anywhere.

Solid watercolor is a non-liquid or paste-like pigment, watercolor pigments generally have solid, boxed, bottled, etc., the effect of these kinds of painting is not much different, but solid watercolor is convenient to go out to paint and carry, and the color texture of solid pigments will be more delicate, when using a pen dipped in a little water can be painted, but also because of these reasons solid watercolor ** will be more expensive.

At present, most foreign paintings with small canvases use solid watercolor, and Windsor Newton, which has a large canvas, now also has solid watercolor in large saucer packs. The main advantage of solid watercolor is that there is no degumming problem of tube-packed paste pigment for a long time - watercolor is made of mixing pigment and gum arabic (peach gum), and the gum arabic will precipitate and separate after the paste pigment is placed for a long time, and the pigment will lose its permeability and purity, and it can basically not be used normally. The disadvantage of solid pigments is that the color block is smaller, usually half pan, and the whole piece is equivalent to two halves, although it is actually very durable, but it is not convenient to pave a large area.

However, in fact, watercolor paintings are usually not large, and half or whole pieces can already be handled.

Here's a copy of my own explanation of the solid watercolor brand elsewhere, I hope it helps:

Let's talk about watercolor pigments briefly: each brand of pigment is divided into two specifications - ordinary grade and expert grade - each brand has a different name for the two levels: the ordinary grade is generally called the "Academy of Fine Arts" or "student" level, and the expert grade is called the "master" or "artist" level.

Windsor Newton (UK) is called "Cotman" for the ordinary level and "artists" for the expert level; The ordinary class of Murray (Italy) is called "Venice" (Venice), and the expert level is called "Maimeriblu"; Terrence (Netherlands) is called Van Gogh in the ordinary class and Rembrandt in the expert class.

It should be noted that Terrence was acquired by the Japanese Sakura Company Holdings, and the watercolors now directly called "Terrence" are all Nissan, while Windsor Newton's "Gowen" and Terrence's "Van Gogh" are both domestic (made in China).

Each has its own merits, mainly what you draw.

What exactly are liquid and solid watercolors? Is it gouache? Can you say a little more specific and professional?

It depends on what you paint, solid watercolor refers to gouache, gouache is a little lighter.
