Still life | Subjects
Highlights
See pp.104–105
Leaving some of the white
of the paper rather than
applying opaque white is a
much fresher approach to
adding highlights, and will
make your painting glow.
Splattering
See pp.98–99
A simple splatter technique
adds energy to a still life.
The thicker the bristles,
the coarser the splatter.
For these marks, a stiff
stipple brush was used.
Complementary colors
See pp.118–119
The blues and purples in
this painting help create color
harmony and mood, while the
intense contrast of the bowl
of yellow lemons is enhanced
by the purple shadows.
Showcase painting
Light, shade, and color are key to this painting, as is the balance
between free and controlled brushstrokes. By capturing the innite
variety with which light falls on objects, both natural and human-made,
watercolor can elevate the humblest of subjects to the status of art.
