Medium
Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
Poured watercolor painting created with live plant materials, by Conni Schaftenaar
A green dragonfly flits among impressionistic leaves, flowers, and grasses in this watercolor, achieved by drawing (in light pencil) and masking the dragonfly, laying down a series of pale colors on watercolor paper and letting them dry, then placing plant materials on the paper and pouring various darker colors.
Where the plant material was placed, the underpainting was shielded, preserving the lighter colors. After drying thoroughly, the plant material and mask was removed and the dragonfly was painted in watercolor, and some deeper colors were added in a couple of places on the plant silhouettes.
