I painted the figures first with a little pyrrol orange and hansa yellow mixed together. A quick way to get in the folds of the fabric is to drop in some darker pigment while the previous layer is still wet. In this case, I added some pyrrol orange mixed with a neutral tint.
The background of the photograph is relatively dark and you can use that to cut around the figures to create negative shapes for the figures. I’ve also done that for some of the objects in the background.
In this video, I will be demonstrating the Daniel Smith primary set and will review the results. I’ll show how these colors work together through a short demonstration near the end where I will go through a landscape tutorial for beginners.
In “Venice: Free Beginner’s Watercolor Workshop”, I run through the basics of watercolour and how to paint a loose scene of the Santa Maria Della Salute.
