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.

Whether you are a beginner, or you have been painting for many years, you need to have the right tools for the trade. This will mean investing in good quality canvas, paints, brushes, and even getting the right clothes for the job. With the right tools, the right training, and an eye for detail, you should be able to come up with a good print.

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.

The paints used can come in tubes, or pans. There are also some which have already been mixed, and are packed, to prevent spillage. When they are in pans they may be cheaper, but will dry out faster than those in tubes. The specific colors you choose will completely depend on what you like. As a beginner, it is better to buy a set of few good quality paints, than one with various colors, which will not serve you for long.

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.

A pallet will also be another thing you need to buy, in order to have all the crucial items for this art. This can be the professional type, which is covered in a metal or plastic surface. This kind will be easier to clean and also to mix the colors on. Before you get one, you may opt to use a plate to mix the colors.

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.
