Corners of lights

Watercolor is a painting technique based on a fundamental principle: transparency.

A watercolorist knows this technical element, and always paints for overlapping colors.

You have to start from the colors with light shades and gradually spread over the darker tones.
As I have said many times about this technique, it, together with the fresco, is the most difficult of the pictorial arts.

I repeat, in the real watercolor there is no white color.
The light is white and the color of the paper is light.
If we use the white color, for example acrylic, to give light to the subjects, it is no longer a pure watercolor.

To give brightness to the subjects of a watercolor we painters must paint in reverse, in negative.
Leaving what we wish to highlight in light, covering the subjects by degrees and by overlapping colors we will have the final result.

In the techniques of oil painting and acrylic at the end of the work, the light colors and the lights on the subjects are painted with the brush, coloring the surfaces with white.
For watercolor instead, in the end the shades and dark tones are colored.

It paints negatively.

A watercolor painter must have a clear idea in his mind where to leave the light, the watercolorist is the creator of light!

If you brush too much with dark colors, you can't delete them anymore, you don't have the white that can cover them, you have to be decided in your creation.
The end result is a vibrant painting, with the white of the paper enhancing the dark colors.

A watercolor painting is changeable at any time of day, the sunlight changes and the brightness of the painted subjects also changes.
From a good watercolor we never have the same light.

Natural spectators, lights and transparencies.
We are the spectators of the show of the world.
We observe in the audience the first act of representation, mystical or religious.

Angoli di luci

L'acquarello è una tecnica pittorica che si basa su un principio fondamentale: la trasparenza.

Un acquarellista conosce questo elemento tecnico, e dipinge sempre per sovrapposizioni di colore.

Bisogna partire dai colori con tonalità chiare e gradatamente stendere sopra i toni più scuri.
Come ho detto più volte a proposito di questa tecnica, essa, insieme all'affresco, è la più difficile delle arti pittoriche.

Ripeto, nel vero acquarello non esiste il colore bianco.
La luce è bianca e il colore della carta è la luce.
Se usiamo il colore bianco, ad esempio acrilico, per donare la luce ai soggetti, non è più un acquarello puro.

Per dare luminosità ai soggetti di un acquarello noi pittori dobbiamo dipingere al contrario, in negativo.
Lasciando quello che desideriamo evidenziare in luce, coprendo i soggetti per gradi e per sovrapposizioni di colore avremo il risultato finale.

Nelle tecniche della pittura ad olio e ad acrilico alla conclusione del lavoro si dipingono con il pennello i colori chiari e le luci sui soggetti, colorando le superfici con il bianco.
Ad acquarello invece, in ultimo si colorano le ombre ed i toni scuri.

Si dipinge in negativo.

Un pittore acquarellista deve avere ben chiaro, nella sua mente, dove lasciare la luce, l'acquarellista è il creatore della luce!

Se dai pennellare troppo cariche di colori scuri, non le puoi più cancellare, non hai il bianco che le può coprire, devi essere deciso nella tua creazione.
Il risultato finale è un dipinto vibrante, con il bianco della carta che esalta i colori scuri.

Un dipinto ad acquarello, è mutevole in ogni ora della giornata, la luce del sole muta e cambia anche la luminosità dei soggetti dipinti.
Da un buon acquarello non abbiamo mai la stessa luce.

Spettatori naturali, luci e trasparenze.
Siamo noi gli spettatori dello spettacolo del mondo.
Osserviamo in platea il primo atto della rappresentazione, mistica o religiosa.
Un abbraccio
Armando

Excellent tips @armandosodano, I love watercolor but I'm not very good, if I work on physical paper the colors are strange to me, if I do it in digital it does not look so transparent so it looks like watercolor goes to another plane, I'll try to make Something with watercolors but thinking about the advice that you left in this publication.

Your painting has many beautiful colors and part of the hanging branches and the rest of bushes is very nice, we hope to see your entry for the contest. ;)
