Getting The Necessary Items To Start Making Watercolor Marine Art Prints

By Jeffrey Kennedy


People, who are interested in art, may choose to work with different things. You might decide to do abstract paintings, or solely handle portraits of people. Other people will be fascinated with sea life. These may be either the built environment, or the organisms. One way they can choose to depict this, is by coming up with watercolor marine art prints.

In order to come up with good work, you need to use good tools. This will mean having good quality materials, in the right quantities and sizes. In case you are an expert in this field, you will know exactly what to buy. However, if you are just getting started, you might require some help. You can choose to go shopping with someone who knows a lot about this field, or visit a reputable store, where they can help you.

The right brush is one of the most important tools of this trade. The brushes for water colors should have long soft fibers. For people who plan to pursue this art form seriously, you should invest in natural sable brushes. These, however, do not come cheap and you can choose to first start with good quality, synthetic fiber brushes.

Most people may think that selecting the paints is an easy job, but in actual sense it is not. You need to decide which type you are more comfortable using, between the liquid, tube, and pan varieties. After you have made your choice, you will then need to select the colors. If this is your first time, it is advisable to choose a variety of colors. As you progress, you should be able to single out the ones you use more often, and then buy different shades of them.

The type of material you choose to paint on, will also determine how your work will appear. There is a specific type of paper which soaks up the water used during this painting, so as not to affect the outcome. The thicker the paper, the better the results will be. Considering these papers can be sold individually or in bulk, it will be cheaper for you in the long run, if you bought them in bulk.

After you buy all the supplies, you will need a place to mix the different hues with water, and with other colors. In case you do not see the need to buy a pallet, you can use a white plate to do this. However, it is better to just buy one. This will allow you to play around with different colors. Some of those available in the market are plastic covered, or even covered in metal.

Most people are comfortable using to tap water to mix the colors. This can be held in two small jars, one for cleaning the brushes, and the second for painting. If you think the water is too hard or too soft, you can choose to use bottled water, so as not to affect the outcome.

After buying all these, you will be ready to start creating works of art. Additionally, the stationery for making the sketches and the easels for placing the canvas, can also be sourced, but do not need to be bought immediately.
