y and ramblings ua 20248021 6 artist barbara rosenzweig s blog art gardening photography and ramblings friday december 11 2015 rainbow animal watercolor painting series i ve been so excited with my new rainbow animal watercolor paintings that i forgot to give you updates along the way i ll try to make up for that once i finished painting the rainbow zebra fantasy i started right away on a giraffe it was so much fun letting the colors beautifully mingle one right into the other in each patch on the giraffe s body and i just loved its eyelashes rainbow zebra fantasy rainbow giraffe fantasy after completing the zebra and giraffe watercolors i thought that creating an elephant would be a neat challenge there would be no specific realistic body patterns to work from this time once i had my drawing i decided to just go for it letting one color blend into the next the trick here is to avoid making mud so between laying down each color i cleaned my brush what do you think of this magical creation rainbow elephant fantasy with so much in the news lately about pandas i thought that it was about time that i created my own this was a bit different from the other animals since it had long thick dark fur with some large patches of almost white to give this panda volume and shape i used subtle shading of color along the ridge of the back and between its eyes rainbow panda bear fantasy the latest in my new series is the hippo i can t believe how much fun this journey is hope that you re enjoying it too rainbow hippo fantasy linked to watercolors by barbara etsy shop

colors i created a whole series of sports figures using color in a very different way here s an example of this type of painting my recently completed ice hockey goalie ice hockey goalie fine art print of original watercolor painting i decided to start of series of paintings using this mingling technique with animals this is my first attempt a zebra hope that you enjoy seeing the progress probably the most difficult part so far besides the drawing is not getting lost in the stripes after a while they seemed to be running together while working on this i m thinking about the next

painting children on the beach i guess that there s so much nostalgia involved that it keeps me young if only in my mind here s a bit of insight into my painting process for this one i decided to start with the figures instead of the background i ll try to capture the warmth of their relationship in this painting below i ve started to rough in the water surf and sand i ve used lots of earth tones in the sand to give it character as well as dragged my almost dry brush sideways across the paper to take advantage of the heavily textured 300 lb arches cold press paper in order to give more interest to the horizon i ve added a distant shore and since i want to give the water greater depth i ve painted over some of the surf i didn t like the way the water was looking so i decided to remove it this is not an easy trick with watercolors but i ll share some secrets with you first wet the brush then lift and blot as much paint as will come up next use a special short stiff bristled brush called a fabric dye brush by loew cornell to lightly scrape the color off if all else fails because the paint is a staining color use mr clean magic eraser now that i improved the colors in the water i started to define the waves at the near shore painting completed i finished the water by making small close strokes at the horizon and created longer waves nearer the shore i also worked on the water and boy s beautiful blond curls added more bright white foam to the surf lightened the boy s shirt so that it would move more to the foreground in front of the blue water and defined the feet i hope that you enjoy my new watercolor painting beach boy and girl original watercolor painting art prints available linked to watercolors by barbara etsy shop watercolors by barbara website

alstroemeria lily flower watercolor painting i ve finally finished my alstroemeria lily flower watercolor painting pink alstroemeria lily flowers as you can see from the blog post below it looks similar but certainly a lot of fine tuning has taken place one of the main things that i did was deepen the dark pinks of the shadows and put more golds and yellows into the petals whenever dark colors are made even darker next to light ones like on the far right petals it makes the flower pop i also properly defined the stems below the flowers once they were in i was able to put shadows and a dark background to give depth and drama for the background on the left i used more layers of ultramarine blue and burnt sienna next to the flower to push the flower image forward also creating greater depth in the video below you can see that c ross hatching watercolors can create a rich deep background that makes the subject of the painting pop i learned many of my techniques from renowned artists including ann abgott if the video below does not function i ve had a lot of trouble with this please click on this link www youtube com watch v rvpen6iw9pm if you like this please share this

put it off for as long as i can but i can no longer delay painting these fabulous flowers when i first saw alstroemeria i thought that they were fake silk flowers it wasn t until i actually touched them that i realized they were indeed real i have been buying fresh cut alstroemeria for quite some time now because not only are they beautiful but they last weeks here is the beginning of my painting of a bouquet of salmon pink flowers after i penciled them in i started to lay in the colors to get the general shapes and experiment with the background after weeks it s finally starting to look like something i m trying to get that luminous quality that these flowers are known for i still have a long way to go but i will keep working at it it s the tiny details that make all the difference i hope that you enjoy getting a glimpse at my painting in progress when i finish i ll post the completed alstroemeria linked to watercolors by barbara etsy shop watercolors by barbara
