Zinnia - watercolor, watercolor pencil, and gouache

Zinnia - watercolor, watercolor pencil, and gouache - student project

The base layer of this painting is made with watercolors. I layered watercolor pencils and gouache to develop the shadows and more variation. I also used a pearly white gouache. I thought it was really cool the colors that I was able to get with layering the watercolor pencils on top of the first layer of watercolor. Thank you for a wonderful class and showing the variety of media that is available and how they can work together.Zinnia - watercolor, watercolor pencil, and gouache - image 1 - student project
