Selecting The Right Materials To Come Up With Watercolor Marine Art Prints

By Jeffrey Kennedy


People use different things to decorate their houses and offices. You might choose to have carvings placed at strategic points, or use watercolor marine art prints. These you can either purchase from an artist, at a gallery, or even decide to hang things, which you painted yourself. Looking at these paintings will allow you to reminisce on the serene beauty of the marine environment.

You cannot start painting, before you have gathered all the necessary paraphernalia. If you seriously plan to do this, whether as a source of income or even as a hobby, you need to have the right materials. This will mean going out to buy the brushes, paints, paper, and all the other items needed. Before you start buying, you need to do some research, in order to get good quality items.

When you go shopping for brushes, refrain from buying many, even if you think it will be cheap. Good quality brushes are a bit expensive, and you might limit you from buying many. Ideally, even with five good ones, you should be able to get started. The best brushes are made from natural fibers like squirrel and sable. You can also look for those made of synthetic materials, but they should be soft. Make sure that you also get the right sizes.

You need to ensure that you buy good water color paints. These can come either as liquid, tube, or pan paints. If you want something portable, stay away from the liquid ones, as they easily spill. For a beginner, you may start by choosing a set, which offers you about twelve hues. As you progress, continue adding additional colors, depending on your preferences.

There are different types of paper currently available. Ideally, it should be heavy, so that is does no warp after you paint. The available papers are either hot pressed, textured, or smooth. The one you choose will affect how the end will result will appear. If you are an advanced painter, you may also choose to use canvas to do your work.

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 will not pay much attention to the type of water used, but it is very important to be careful. If the water is too hard or too soft, it will affect the consistency of the paint. You also need to keep changing it, to ensure that your brushes stay clean.

There will be some other small knickknacks, which you need to buy. These include pencils, erasers, and an easel. You may choose to buy a wooden or plastic easel, or have one made for you. You need to use newspapers or old clothes, to prevent paint from staining your floors and the surrounding surfaces, as well as an apron, to protect your clothes.
