Watercolor Peony Flower painting demonstration

#watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #artvideo The balance of the volume, the light, and shadow is the basics of any painting process. The leaves silhouette and a flower shape and their position on paper - are what creates visual tension. Whether you paint from real life or a reference photo isn’t necessary to paint what you see: Change shapes, modify values, and anything else you think will improve the visual effect. It can be useful, to pre-mixed colors before you start painting. Start with a thin diluted wash of color and paint the lightest tones. You will get a visible transparency layer effect if each wash of paint is left to dry. Every new layer of paint combines with the underlying color, making it darker and increasing the value. #streamofdreamsdesign
