Renate Arends - "Romantiek (Romance)"

  • Naam schilderij: Romantiek (Romance) 
  • Artist: Renate Arends
  • Size: 24 x 30cm.
  • Medium & Support:  Watercolor and gouache on aqua board
  • Artist Blog: www.renatearends.blogspot.nl

* Painting Process:
After I made the sketch with pencil I have made the part that had to be blackened, black, with the exception of the glass and the leg of the glass. I gave the glass itself and the leg of the glass  a watery layer black with cutouts for the pieces here and there where the glass was shiny.

Where needed I took the paint away  with a clean damp brush  so that a dull white showed.. This was also the time I painted in the wine. After this, I painted the brown section containing the white shadow (in the middle) and the black shadow (right).

After this I colored the rose, petal after petal. I had difficulties with finding the right color. No yellow, no pink. Ultimately, it is a mix of white gouache with orange watercolor paint. After the Rose was finished I put the details in the glass. Finally I gave the black and Brown sections a last  layer so that small smudges and spots were no longer visible.
