Carnaval spider

Brazilian carnaval time = nothing to do. Wholhe country is "partying" outside, there is only carnaval and samba at tv, radios, news sites... then I decided to do something useful to comemorate :P I'm not that good in watercolors, but I can give you some hints and tips from this recent (and past) experience:

• paper must be more than 300g. Less than that thickness your paper will curl, more than that you won't see the drawing under the paper when clean up at lightbox;


• do not draw straight in the watercolor paper: make a sketch in another paper and clean up in the watercolor paper, using the lightbox. Print on the paper won't work that good...


• Soft brushes (poney fur, not mixed) is good for washing, but for strokes sintethic brushes are MUCH better (same for acrylics);


• use a clean tissue to dry the paint, just put the tissue on top and press;


• latex mask is a piece of sh*t, run away (I should have done that...);

I love watercolors, but I think digital suits better to me lol XD
--> Someone that REALLY know how to use watercolors (not me haha) --> Clap-San.

Oh carnaval! Eu gosto do - feriadão - carnaval, posso ficar organizando o que tiver pra organizar. [sarcasm mode on]. Nada melhor pra fugir da esfuziante alegria do carnaval do que organizar papéis e trabalhar em alguma coisa. Daí a viúva negra carnavalesca feita em aquarela, porque sou chique :)

Segue mais de minhas considerações sobre carnaval:P

Divirtam-se!
