These six images are painted using different watercolor techniques to portray six different emotions. For the top left I did the emotion of happiness using a brush with very little water to get the deep, vibrant colors and then I flicked the brush with my fingers to get the red paint splatters. The top middle portrays love and for this I used a white crayon to create the upward moving lines as well as a very wet square and brush to create the soft colors. The top right square is anger. For this emotion I used a mixture of wet and dry brushes to get the light vs. dark feel of the colors. I then sprinkled salt on top of the wet colors and splattered black on top of the salt to get the spread out, dark feeling. The bottom left square is jealousy and the technique I used was to paint the square green and then I placed a piece of saran wrap on top and allowed it to dry. The bottom middle is the feeling of depression. For this one I used the white crayon to create the boxed in stripes, then I painted with a dark grey and placed foil over the color to dry. When it was mostly dry, I removed the foil and used a straw on the wet parts to create the circle features. Finally, the bottom right portrays sadness. For this, I wet the entire square down and then dripped blue over the water and turned the paper until the drips filled the square. I had a lot of fun with this project and learned a lot about different techniques to create fun textures with water colors.
