Decenter the Composition
https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVFcqbpczA2N7MNKZttQrPoTkTwatV9Ec37iKUgTe3AyP/20181203_160800.jpg

Flowers are an interesting subject to play with colors because they trigger a feeling of joy even if you make a mistake in the composition. Flowers inspire a non-judgemental attitude.

The painting is the result of the surface's alterations. Choose a specific type of paper, which is as important as the ink. 
This is a watercolor/ink process.

Before beginning the piece, think of the rhythm like music. At which pace is each stroke going to be done?

https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNaooFRm4b6TmbTih1j7mbX3Gwn9LHCGkDqjCiNegL5hR/20181203_151857.jpg

Choose fewer colors. Go from light to dark.
Observe the global geometrical composition. Look for diagonales, triangles, rectangles, squares, circles.
What is in front is large, what is further away is smaller.

Focus on the emptiness, the negative space of things.
Draw curves if you have a tendency to see/draw straight lines, and vice versa.

Decenter the composition (I usually fail at this one.)

https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmapGbMozeG6tK1JQA7Lcf98Gh3GArtQgHL9nBnxxdEd36/20181203_155746.jpg

Exagerate the scale and the light contrast.
Almost close your eyes to distinguish the light and shadows.
Think of variations, repetitions and patterns.
Draw fine details and/or thick vague strokes.

https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP4QKUDuVAovSYBcZM4wEFXoCYtSPpGka15WAhCrJPwvc/20181203_153756.jpg

Add water, let it soak and sponge it up.
Don't close (all) shapes.
Don't finish the drawing.

That's very sweet 💎
The feeling of joy is related to the idea that watercolor is an unexpected weapon against adversity.

So beautiful how you write about your painting. This sentence I have enjoyed the most: Flowers inspire a non-judgemental attitude. I have never thought about it but it is so true.. we should be surrounded by flowers :) I prefer painted flowers than flowers in the vase.. and your painted flowers are exactly what I like. I like watercolor because there are not that many hard lines (in my opinion) I like to see colors blending and creating new unexpected colors and shades.. 

I have also enjoyed seeing your first photos. It actually looks like your hand would be painted too :) So nice!

Thank you for sharing!

Very timely painting for the upcoming holiday season! 

Your last two sentences caught my attention: Don't close and don't finish.  It made me look a few more times... and yes, the effect is very good.  The unclosed edges look so natural.  I did not realize there is  a purpose to that.

And you are correct.  Flowers give the feeling of oy even if you make mistake.  Those mistakes can be easily remedied with flowers.  &#128522;

Thanks for sharing your beautiful painting.

Hi @macoolette! Thank you for your attention, and "looking a few more times". The effect of the "unclosed edges" is based in the idea that impermeable borders between elements are only one way to represent reality. It can be very reductive and limiting. I love to see how fluid things are!

I just realized that when you said so.  Fluidity can also mean freedom and boundless.  Nice thought you brought up there!

Oohhh my! Its a lovely artwork!

One of the things I love doing is playing youtube and watching artworks being done from scratch especially coloring videos. Its amazing!!

I can draw and sketch a bit. But I dont have the talent for blending colors using watercolors or ink process. I have tried it and its not for me.. hahahahaha..

I dont have the colorful thumb to do it. I cannot do beautiful strokes. My hands are rather stiff! Hahahaha.. or sometimes I choose the wrong color combination.. it takes a whole lot of processing to take in. You have to look at the bigger picture and not just centering on one angle. That i dont have! 😂

And I agree, painting is just like music, you gotta have some rhythm and beat. You have to hear the sound of... *tugs tugs tugs tugs...* hehehe.. 

Thank you for sharing with us how it should be done. I had fun reading it through.

Cheers!

Your humour is delightful! Thx.

Witnessing something done from scratch makes me feel lucky. It feels like a new beginning. I also enjoy a process that goes from very simple to super complex, and back to simple.

The process you mention "whole lot of processing to take in" is maybe the abstraction process. Only relevant input are selected and then transformed onto the paper. The method you describe seems exact. But maybe "the bigger picture" that you choose is to big. The decision making starts with the conceptual and concrete frame. Extract only a very small number of data. Ignore deliberately what could seem essential.

I wish you would not stop because of the "non-beautiful strokes" and the "wrong color combination". The practice of failures creates a unique style. I am personally more attracted to that.

Just use a " colorful thumb" prosthesis

I think anything made out from scratch is one happy pill too. It gives a sense of contentment somehow.

Yes its difficult really to conceptualize because of so many things in mind. I get a little confused as to which one is better. 

Thanks for the encouragement, its truly appreciated especially coming from great artists such as you.. I will keep on practicing my drawing skills. And give watercoloring another try too. 😍

That painting without having a previous sketch is wonderful, it is a great talent, I say it because I also draw and I do not imagine how my work would be if I do not have at least some guidelines ... you really left me very impressed, I loved your flowers and those different green tones you got are beautiful <3 <3

What kind of markers are those? I really do not know what they are exactly but I see that they make your work easier, if I worked with watercolors I would like one of those ones right now ..

A big hug @enbyx

Hi @naideth, 

These pen-brushes (Pentel, Kuretake - see my previous reply) are very practical and fun to work with, especially if you draw on the road.

I think that if you already have a practice of drawing (whatever practice it is), then you will be amazed by how the "guidelines" are appearing conceptually on the page. If not, just give a try another day! Change the setting, the format, the way you move, the rhythm, etc. Tell your body that you are drawing in a different way ;)

Cheers

Hi enbyx, I enjoyed very much while read your post on how you draw the flower. I could feel that you enjoy drawing and you draw from your heart. What amaze me was, you did not sketch, you just draw it freely and follow your heart. I first time heard that drawing by think of the rhythm like music. And i love the color and final drawing. Now i do believe art can help a person to release stress. Sometime art also used by physiologist as one  of their session. 
How long you have involved in art? From the post, it seems art is in you. I love it very much.

Hi @oliviackl. You are right, it comes from the heart. The drawing (made on a thick rough A4 paper) is a gift for my partner's mother. I was very shy, because i always doubt my work. 

Drawing without preparation is an interesting approach to loose the intention of coloring fixed shapes as in a "coloring book". Color is about texture, layer, interdependence. It's fun to speak of interdependence for colors :) i love to play with language. 

Yes, imagine drawing like music! A "still" image is an illusion. Movement is usually related to the idea of life. I observed that i am touched by a visual when it seems "alive". The challenge to produce a still image is to reflect on the "movement" and "time" aspects in the process. Experimenting with the stroke's rhythm can be a technique to do that.

Art has always been a part of my life. Before language. It is my shelter, where i retreat from the world. And at the same time, my way to connect with the clamour of the world.

@enbyx, you have talent with art, and please feel proud of it. Do not feel shy. I love the way you explained on art. First time I heard someone treat art like it is alive. You feel it, touch it, follow their rhythm, follow your heart and draw it freely. The basic of all these enable you draw a beautiful art. From the way you explained, you really love arts and treat it like your best friend.

Are you from an art family?

It looks so easy when I look through the pictures and of course absolutely awesome work. I think in reality that takes really a good preparation as watercolor does not like to wait, once the color is applied everything dries up quickly. I love the color choice and that dark olive color you created is really beautiful I believe it was a combination of few different. Looking at the images I noticed you use those water color pen and ink while creating that magic greens what did you use and also what surface you use for them. I know I want to know your secrets, I love watercolor but still working on my skills :)

I believe in sharing the techniques! 

The paper is a very thick and very rough/textured paper for watercolor/wet media.

The pre-filled pen-brushes are magical. ☄ I found them only two times, once in a japanese art shop in Singapour, and another time in a pen shop in Stockholm, Sweden. I also use the empty pen-brushes and fill them with water.

Here are the brands. 

(Haha i make ad for free... 🤔 i do it because i know how hard it is to find the right tools.)

That is great to see them, I have pre-filled pens too of course another brad. My problem on rough paper they do not leave much pigments, then I have to use the pen with water but then my color is floating away. I was just wondering next time if you would be able to do a video that would be a great help for me :)

Very nice drawing, @enbyx ! I am learning watercolours myself and this really motivates me to go back and try again :)

Congrats on curie, as well :)

Nice!

I would try on a lot of different watercolor/wet media paper. It's all about the absorption of water. I learned that it produces different effects on the paper, but it also changes the way you apprehend the technique... and therefore creates the motivation (or not) to continue efforts to experiment.

Could you explain in detail what is curie? I have difficulty to understand how it works.
