Watercolor DVD – How to paint a still life in watercolor

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

What do you want to see in a watercolor instruction DVD?

Before I started my new watercolor instruction DVD I wanted to hear what artists would like to learn about watercolors. So I asked YOU what you would like to learn.

You told me where you experience problems when you paint in watercolor. Many artists suggested they would like to see how to paint white on white – a white subject such as a white rose. Others mentioned they would like to see how to paint gold or silver and others were interested in painting reflections. How to create the feeling of Old Master’s still life paintings was very popular. How to paint backgrounds is a common question, just as how to paint leaves is often ask for too.

So after some thought I decided to create a still life subject that incorporates all of these things for you: A beautiful rose, a white porcelain bowl with a lovely gold edge, a rich wooden table top with reflections of the rose, leaves and bowl in the varnished wooden table top and of course a lovely rich dark background. You can also see how to paint dew drops!
