Contemporary Still Life with Watercolor
“Well, this is the end of the course and I hope you have reached this point in accordance with what you learned. We start by talking about the composition and photography of contemporary still life. With your image, we proceeded to transfer it to paper; first by printing it and then chalking it to watercolor paper. You were able to use paint to achieve the final result, working with lights, shadows and final details. I ended up giving you some recommendations to store and / or frame your work. Remember that you can do this project without previous knowledge, but it is important to be meticulous and be patient. It may not be the way you want it the first time, but remember that I've been painting with watercolor for 8 years and it's just practical. Also, if still lifes are not your thing, you can use the same technique with the image you want. I went through the mineral painting, then I went to the portrait of selfies and finally to the still lifes. What you paint is in you. I hope the course has served you and you have made progress in your practice with watercolor. I remind you that I will be answering questions but bear with me, because life continues outside as well. Take advantage of the fact that you are here and share your data with other colleagues, advice from others is always good.
