Digital collage often includes watercolour as a means of creating a background or tone field for a digital creation, as many collaging techniques are incorporated into the medium.
The following video demonstrates Turner’s ephemera techniques, working in wet watercolour.
Masking Tools
I usually use the narrowest masking fluid pen, with the HWC masking fluid. I have tried other applicators, but the pen seems the most controllable.
Colour Palette
So far, the following pigments are being used a lot by me.
- Payne’s Gray
- Quinacridone Magenta
- Dioazine Purple
- Transparent Pyrrole Orange
- Phthalo Turrquoise
Different Styles of Watercolour
Payne’s grey is a dark blue-grey colour used in painting. Originally a mixture of iron blue (Prussian blue), yellow ochre and crimson lake.
