Description
An Egg Study - black and white watercolor by the artist Irina Sztukowski.
After practicing how to draw an egg, which is essential for the artists, it will be easy to paint the same subject in watercolor. For the beginning try to use only one color: paynes gray or black. Apply more water for shading, and leave the whit of the paper for the light. When painting an egg with watercolor, it is easy to use wet-on-wet technique, where the surface is pre-wetted by the clear water, and then the artist applies paint (dab by dab) into a wet surface making sure the paint goes only on the shadow part. To emphasize the roundness of the egg one should not forget a few tricks such as example: the effect of cast shadow and reflected light. For preparation of the painted subject, place an egg under the desk lamp or window to cast a shadow. Observe the subject carefully, paint slow, but do not allow water to be absorbed by the paper until the last paint is applied. Step away after fist wash is completed. Wait until it is dry; and then, repeat the application from step one (wetting the paper with clear water) again if more contrast is needed. Good Luck!
