Hello everyone, I've been feeling quite sad because I thought I'd be spending this week painting with watercolor. I had the desire since last week and placed an order for some canson cold pressed watercolor paper. I was really looking forward to using this quality paper as I've never used it before and then three days later, my order got canceled and I was told by the shop that they only had hot pressed and the rough grain. I decided to go for the rough grain since it's closest to the cold pressed but my order still had not been dispatched by yesterday which is unlike Rozetka, the online site I normally use for my quick purchases.
I decided to cancel my order and look for a different website. I've placed a new order and I was told this morning that it will be dispatched today. I'm hoping this time it's the truth. You know how disappointed one gets when something they really want takes a long while? Yep, that's me. That's also the reason why I've not been too motivated to draw because as much as I've enjoyed and suffered with my digital art, watercolor is still my favorite medium to use and I really just wanted to use it.
Anyways, I decided to draw today and of course I decided to draw something red to lift my spirits. Here's my red pepper
I started with an outline and I decided to paint with my laptop again even though at the end I slightly regretted doing so as I still had to spend time with color corrections.
I then proceeded to fill in the base colors
I also painted in areas that had highlights before proceeding to blend with my blending tool on sketchbookpro
As you can see the initial color I selected for the background was black just to enable me have a better contrast but after blending I changed the colors
Before final settling on the one I now have here
Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully my next paintings will be in watercolor.
