Preface: I paint on a music chart. (Nonsense Warning: This blog so happy because a little more than nonsense.)
Preparatory
psychological
If just for fun, there is no basis for it does not matter! Because art is not a test, there is no standard answer, master of painting you do not necessarily feel good-looking.
I just amateur watercolor fills study is based on three years of primary school children's drawings, sketches a month, a month painting. Watercolor contacts four years, playing pieces during the color of lead and propylene, usually there is not much time to practice, serious watercolor painting in less than twenty.
So drawing a music bar, really do not need too much psychological pressure.
tool
Painted wood personally feel that there is no absolute good or bad. Each member has a corresponding characteristic Videos (PiQi). Let but what is it? Yes, it is the hand.
Watercolor on paper
Watercolor, the paper is the most important.
Getting Recommended brands : Po Hong> Barbizon. Hong Bao best value for money, compared to the Barbizon done faster.
Recommended paper weight : 300g.
The lower the number of grams of thinner paper, the easier it becomes absorbent crepe. 300g basic need laminating. (Silly me hard then mounted to a pile of paper 300g, and later found laminating or not does not make much difference) (how laminating, Yuko Nagayama corresponding video tutorial)
Paper Size : I most commonly used is the 8K. A4 8K almost bigger than usual, right. 16K small half, sometimes with water play.
Plastic closures way :
Full closure easy to carry, do not take the tape and drawing board, suitable for going out.
Bulk: No final cut, and I think that after removing the layer of white tape edges look good, happy and finally kind of tear tape when the sense of ritual.
Loose-leaf: not used. I think pigments will follow the tunnel dipped Next, slip the slip.
Additional good thing Recommend:
1. Tape: for securing the paper to the drawing board.
Masking tape : Legend sticky water, is great. However, it may be that I bought a few are relatively cheap sake, anyway ...... good use.
Finally, I spend a surgical tape ! That is attached to the infusion transparent, you can use directly nails torn off, a few dollars a super useful! Water does not wet out! (That is, the beginning do not stick Tai Lao, or unfinished bit difficult to tear)
2. Photo clip: a clip drawing board a folder or a mobile phone photo album, then forget it, buy a table, a big point of it. Often copy the phone's map, or using a mobile phone to listen to the book. I will not panic in front of the phone, and easy to put away bad ......
pen
Brush : To be honest, although watercolor is exotic, 8K, then buy a few pieces of Chinese calligraphy, good enough.
Recommended brands: Autumn macro vegetarian - with most of the details can show Italy or meditate, with bigger if implicit or night cicada (Cicada Night to write about 5cm Europe Kai giant handy !!!)
Watercolor pen
Recommended: (kind of squirrel hair, painted to feel dizzy and water way is to brush can not be replaced!) Red fat man
Rainbow dark green flat tip pen: this I sometimes color: 1 primer coated with a layer of water, with a brush when the semi point color, and then flat-tip pens halo pigment, or both for the use of the pen. This time flat tip pen good use.
Avoid : I think the following does not go smoothly: cherry blue rod pen, watercolor pen cap have portable, Huahong black orange tip pen.
General : Autumn macro vegetarian memory Kingfisher, Green Britain
Summary : show Italy or meditate, will buy, adding a bigger pen, brush, or watercolor pen does not matter, red fat better. There used to be a fan-shaped pen brush water, whatever the brand. As more details of the pen is not being explored relatively easy to use. Autumn macro vegetarian pine, Hua Hong smallest number that pen, I feel awkward, sometimes simply use water-soluble color of lead in place, a little worry.
Additional good thing Recommend:
Sub-grid bucket : used to wash the pen. Every pen in order to wash the grid according to a different order, you can change many times less water, changing the water means less environmental ah! (Pigment and also a clean block some, obsessive-compulsive disorder gospel) is not convenient for changing the angle at sketching is also hard to find comfortable, but the water again!
pigment
Recommended brands :
stay white glue :
White Ink : Small antiquity experts.
White painting pigment : Marley is also OK.
Palette : Trust me, do not buy plastic, although light but cross color. Recommend ceramics, painting friends recommended that surface waves. If too heavy can try painting the metal, it is the kind of college-level material Shiming Ke paint box comes with a small area of commissioning.
Other: Start simple, find fun painting!
After all, watercolor paints a sum down, do not like the hard to change, so if there are psychological burden in this area, you can begin to start playing with black and white pencil or propylene. The former can rub, which can cover. Propylene Compared to oil painting, dry faster, and cheaper, when it is suitable for entry-color play. Propylene and has a high adhesion, not only painted on canvas, but also painted wall, painted clothes (but with textile paint this proposal), and so on.
