ジュリー・アン・カールソン shared some of her favorite techniques using ダニエル・スミス 水彩画用下地 そして Luminescent watercolors.

She began by highlighting areas in her artwork where the features of Luminescents really shine. She also showed us her favorite types of mini travel palettes, including an upcycled mint tin which she painted with watercolors, after applying a coat of チタンホワイト水彩下地.

Julie talked about a variety of ways to use 水彩絵具用下地 – for making corrections, covering not-so-desirable paintings, adding unique textures and creating a dark surface for painting with Luminescents.

Julie Ann’s reference photo for the full one-hour demo (watch it below) was a beautiful blue butterfly resting on a rough, rocky surface. After blocking out the butterfly shape on her paper, she randomly mixed a wash of earthy, granulating colors for the first layer of the background, including ゾイサイト純正品, ソーダライト純正品 そして ゲーサイト. After the wash was dry, she added small strips of cotton cheesecloth in thin layers with 透明水彩下地 to mimic the texture of the rocks.

Once these areas are allowed to dry overnight, then she adds another layer of colors on top, blending with enough water so the pigments puddle inside the webs of cheesecloth web, as well as travel across the fibers. Lastly, she paints the butterfly shape with マーズブラック水彩画用地 and adds her delicate designs for the wings with shimmering Luminescent colors, which look extra bright and vibrant against a velvety, smooth black surface.

Here’s a Q&A with Julie Ann:

もし無人島に絵を描くために3色だけ持っていけるとしたら、どの3色を選びますか？
My current favorite triad is ハンザイエローミディアム, アントラキノイドレッド そして プルシアンブルー – they make such a great range of mixes! But I think I would have more fun with 本物のブルーアパタイト, モンテ・アミアータ・ナチュラル・シエナ そして ヘマタイト バーントスカーレット 本物 – even though they have limitations as a color triad, they do make fun mixes which granulate really well together to create pleasing effects. Such a difficult choice – and I thought it was hard to limit my dot card to only 18 colors!

最近参加した美術展の中で、特に印象に残ったものについて教えてください。.
I recently had the opportunity to attend a watercolor show featuring the work of several artists who had studied under me. What a privilege to see their progress as artists, and to have played a part in their art journey. I love the thrill of seeing people discover watercolor and then watching them grow.

What are some recent photos you’ve taken that might inspire you to paint?
My phone is actually super full of photos at the moment. Summer here in Sweden is short but GORGEOUS! Lots of summer flowers and bumble bees, beautiful meadows and lakes, my four grandchildren, old houses, sunrises…I’ll be able to enjoy summer all through our long dark winter.

他のアーティストから受けたアドバイスの中で、一番心に残っているものは何ですか？
Give yourself permission to play and enjoy the process, and accept that some things will turn out well and other things won’t.

次に取り組むのが楽しみなプロジェクトは何ですか？
It has been awhile since I painted on a full sheet and I’m thinking of doing something floral…
