My notes on watching Jude's demonstration:
- Draw shapes. Ragged edges – make some petals botanically correct
- Splash colour, produce background wash – soften
- Add darks into wet paper
- Spray, add water for softer look
- Flat surface – tilt
- Lifting off excess moisture with brush – not tissues
- Use of hair dryer to speed drying process
- NB – watercolour always dries lighter
- Add darks around petal shapes
- Ensure warm and cool petals
- Build up tones
- Outlines indistinct
- Repeat colours: blue in leaves and green in petals
- Dark blue wash in shadow side helps make #D image
- Background edge – violet
- Soft edges – hard edges
- Whites –
- Texture – use of water spray on dry colour
Here are some photos of hydrangeas in my garden:
