COLOR WHEEL & COLOR AS VALUE
A very useful perception to add to your mental toolkit for painting is the ability to see color as ‘value’. The ‘lights’ create piccolo sparkle, ‘mids’ create violin richness/sublety, ‘darks’ create tuba gravitas. Deduct the lights and you have somber/moody. Deduct the mids and you have a kind of annunciation, readable from afar, but not all that interesting up close. Deduct the darks and you have ‘ethereal’, pixies dancing at twilight. Together and they give a full orchestra – but there is still the problem of ‘dominance’ – equal amounts of piccolo, violin and tuba are boring.
ERASER-ISM WATERCOLOR USING CREDIT CARD FRAGMENTS
This is a beautiful, cool piece by Painter, Dianne Longson, watercolor 18 x 20. So ! Eraser-ism is also possible with watercolor. The trick is to paint diluted gum arabic on the paper first. This seals the paper and will allow scrape-outs using credit card fragments. I prefer scraping erasers with acrylic, credit cards with watercolor. Wear gloves, as your hands are directly in the paint.
Subsequently, Dianne asked me how large can it work: Here are my thoughts on this – If the gum arabic is used undiluted it seems to form a shiny, thick coating. This may crack or flake over time, especially when flexing and on larger sheets. I have not experimented, so I don’t really know. I guess you are blazing the trail. let me know how it works out.
Cheers,
Tony
