Two Girls watercolor painting by Marla L. Niederer |
I
thought I would share the step by step process of the watercolor painting I did
of two girls recently. I started out
with doing a detailed pencil sketch.

I
then added a watercolor wash of amazonite genuine to both the skin tone areas
and the background. On the background I
added salt. I let the salt dry and then
brushed it off.

I
then started to add some shading with raw umber.

After
the first layer of raw umber was dry I added a second layer of shading with raw
umber.

I
then used burnt sienna to start to add some details and a bit more
shading. I love using layers of
watercolors in my paintings.

After
that was dry I added more burnt sienna and some rose madder.

added more rose madder and used quinacridone purple for the dresses. I used salt for the dresses.

used brilliant orange and cerulean blue for the hair.

grey, and ultramarine blue.
