The above are the brushes that are more suitable for watercolor painting, so-called watercolor brushes.

Question 2: "Urgent!" 』What kind of pen should I use to draw lines after starting a watercolor painting? Of course, it would be nice to have a dedicated watercolor pen, and I usually don’t draw lines after starting the draft, as that would be very restrictive! !

I always color first, and then use colored pencil to outline the outline. The reason why the face will be dirty is because you did not follow the order of watercolor coloring

Apply light colors first Color, this is not gouache, it is not painted from a dark color.

If you must draw lines, it is recommended to use water-insoluble ink. You can also draw lines with a special pen for comics, but the black lines on it will be boring. , you can get the hang of it by copying more, or you can buy more professional books and read them

Question 3: What tools are needed for watercolor painting? What kind of paint and paper to use? As for paints, beginners can consider Winsor & Newton, Terrence and Marley (white box ones). The price is about 16 to 18 yuan for 12 colors. You can also consider buying a set of 24 colors, which is slightly more expensive. Looks like thirty. If you want to buy mid-range ones, you can consider Sakura ones, which are slightly more expensive, while the cheaper ones cost at least seventy-eighty-one boxes. You can also buy solid watercolors. The price of solid watercolors like Terrence's 12 colors is about 60 online. The 24 colors are 100 or 200. The rest of the solid watercolors are more expensive. The ones I like usually cost at least 200. Three hundred...

I don’t recommend the snow-capped mountain paper. It’s very difficult to use. You can buy Canson’s watercolor paper, 250g or 300g. The price of a full sheet is about 14 to 15 yuan. If you give it away, , you can also buy a Canson watercolor book, six or seventy-one. Another one that is slightly easier to use is LANA, but it is not easy to buy in this physical store. It is sold online, and the price is more expensive than Canson. I recommend the 300g one. It is best to check the price online. The one I bought is 35 yuan per pack. (Only 5 photos).

We generally recommend round-head watercolor brushes. The row-shaped brushes are not very powerful when painting watercolors. You can buy wool ones, which are softer and cheaper. You have to go to the store to ask for details. A set The cheap ones must be over forty. You can also buy a set online like me. I bought a Sakura round-head watercolor brush. It is made of fiber and is very delicate. The price of the set I bought is 125 yuan (the physical one is more expensive), which is a little small. Expensive, but still very practical.

Then there is the color palette, preferably a white one with small and large grids. The small grids are for placing paint, and the large grids are for mixing colors. One is enough.

I don’t recommend buying a pen washer. Just use the big bottle you don’t use at home.

Then there is the white space liquid, which is a magical thing that is often used when painting watercolors. The price is generally about 20 to 40 yuan per bottle, and one bottle can be used for a long time.

As for thickeners, ox bile and other watercolor mixtures, I think ox bile is somewhat useful, but generally only very professional people can use it, so I won’t go into details on this. , you just need to know that there is such a thing. Generally, amateur painters rarely use them.

In addition, there are several very important tools: drawing board (this is a must, the cheaper one is more than ten yuan, and the expensive one is thirty or forty-one yuan), easel (this may not be necessary to buy depending on the situation, A good one costs hundreds), water tape (this is also necessary, only costs a few dollars, very cheap)

Summarize what you must use:

Paints, color palettes , brushes, white space fluid, drawing board, water tape

Question 4: What tools are needed for watercolor painting? Pencils and erasers. If you need to draw lines, prepare pens and inks, or syringe pens or alcohol pens. It all depends on you. Like it

Coloring, watercolor paints, palette, bucket and water

Wool brushes are very useful, and the best sizes are available

When painting large areas such as the background, you can use a flat-headed nylon pen to paint flatly

Here are some suggestions for coloring: Use a special brush to brush the parts that need to be dyed with clean water first, and then paint. , it will be very even.

If you want to draw a clean painting, you can consider using two buckets for rinsing brushes, one for clean water and the other for rinsing brushes.

Question 5: What kind of paper is suitable for watercolor pens? Watercolor paper

Paper specially used for painting watercolors has better water absorption.

Watercolor paper is a kind of paper specially used for painting watercolors. Its characteristics are that it is more absorbent than ordinary paper, is thicker in pounds, and has stronger fibers on the paper surface, making it less likely to break or pill due to repeated application. There are many kinds of watercolor paper, the cheaper ones are less absorbent, and the expensive ones can preserve the color for a long time. In terms of fiber, watercolor paper has two basic fibers: cotton and linen. According to the surface, there are rough noodles, thin noodles and smooth noodles. According to manufacturing, it is divided into handmade paper (the most expensive) and machine-made paper. If you want to draw detailed themes, thick hemp paper is generally used. This kind of watercolor paper is also often used for precision watercolor illustrations. In addition, if you want to express a flowing theme and use the overlapping method in watercolor techniques, you will generally choose cotton paper because cotton absorbs water quickly and dries quickly. The only disadvantage is that it will fade over time. Well-known watercolor paper manufacturers come from Japan, England, France and Italy.

Question 6: Which brand of watercolor paints and watercolor brushes is better? I paint watercolors. Personally, I think watercolors are very expensive. It’s really difficult to improve if you don’t use good equipment. I suggest you, if you want to buy something cheaper, the last thing you want is Van Gogh's paints, and then the professional ones are Rembrandt's. Of course they are more expensive, as they are all imported. If conditions are better, use Italian Murray blue or German watercolor paints. The transparency and quality are incomparable. We are currently art students, and I use Van Gogh's paints, but I plan to work part-time to earn some money. I used the money to buy myself a set of German Lucas watercolors (each one costs about 50 yuan) and German squirrel hair paintbrushes. (A pen costs more than 100 yuan)

For pens, it is best to use squirrel hair and wolf hair (good quality wolf hair specially used for watercolor painting, order it.

But if you feel equipped These are too expensive, and your modeling foundation is quite good, so it doesn’t matter if you use Marley’s watercolors. But the problem is that no matter how good you are at painting, you can only create the kind of realistic paintings that are very common with cheap watercolor paints. It's just that it can't produce the nice-looking texture and sedimentation effect, and the interesting texture and watery smell painted by watercolor masters are difficult to paint without good paint and good paper.

Last but not least, watercolor paper should be made of better quality, Canson series.

The above are the results of my teacher’s teachings and my own practice. I hope it will be helpful to you. Helpful

Question 7: Which pen is better for watercolor painting? Of course it's a wolf howling! (Personal feeling)

Nylon has good elasticity, but does not absorb water and does not stick to paint easily

If the poster is not afraid of spending money, then buy Picasso~

But you must buy genuine products~because many of them on the market are fakes, so be careful! Picasso’s is super easy to use~ I’ve been using it before!

Question 8: When painting watercolors, which one is more important: pen, paper, or paint? The first is paper. The thickness of wood and cotton are very different, and it is the key to the texture of watercolor. Good ones can be purchased for dozens or even more.

Next is watercolor. Different watercolors are very different in color brightness, water marks, and color mixing. Some are very different.

As for pens, the requirements are minimal. An ordinary brush is enough. The kind that costs just a few bucks each is enough. Personally, I think it is enough.

Question 9: What is the name of the pen used to paint watercolors in the picture? Fountain pen

Question 10: What pen is best for painting watercolors? Well, can I say that Chinese people use imported watercolor painting brushes, and foreigners who come to China to paint watercolor painting use traditional Chinese painting brushes? Haha, well, since painting is more professional, I will introduce imported professional watercolor brushes. I suggest that the poster also Try using traditional Chinese painting brushes and compare them to see which one works better...
