Anne Steinman wins First Place at Topsfied Fair 2009

Professional Artists Compitition - Watercolor

Autumn Flight Watercolor Painting by Anne Steinman While painting Autumn Flight, Anne only used the three primary colors (Red, Yellow, Blue) to create the spectacular multi-colored effects. Before pouring the paint, she protected the white birds and white highlights in the water and on the cypress tree by using removable masking fluid. After the initial paint dried, she removed the masking fluid and used traditional brushstrokes to paint the birds and trees. Anne lightly painted the shadows in the cranes' feathers with weak tints of the same three primary colors, while carefully preserving enough white of the paper for the birds.
