OT-Not PS But An Art Question
The Magician
Was doing a Total Training video tutorial, and did an excercise with a water color broken down in layers by some famous illustrator.
And I just saw a similar watercolor of that type which made me think.
Does anyone know what the school of thought behind the type of water color artwork where it seems like the line/sketchwork is in black, and the color
in the picture seems to be kinda put in "willy-nilly", and like it goes out of the lines, etc.
this type of watercolor artwork seems to be used a lot lately for kid's book illustrations.
What's the deal with that? Why does the color go outside the lines, and not "fill the sketch in places.
It seems to be quite a popular style, but I don't know the reasoning behind it, or if it's a kind of "Copied" look of some other famous artist.
Anyone know what that's called, why it's done, or where I can possibly read more on it?
Thanks.

This is an answer:
When using watercolors to paint one of the water, paint and brush approach
is to:
1 - prepare the area to be painted by applying a very thin wash or plain
clear water to the paper (no, not all the paper - just the little bit you
want to paint next)
2 - pick up your brush and load it with the color you want to use
3 - gently - and boy do I mean gently - nudge the paint brush to the
prepared & dampened paper. There is artistic flare and finesse at this step
and it could rely on using the effect of water tension spreading color on to
the paper
4 - repeat (3) with different colors if you want to
At 2, 3 or 4 you may choose to load an art pen with color instead or as
well. The idea to bear in mind is that the translucency of the paper has to
show thro. There is nuthin wurse than a great lump of opaque paint on a
water color sketch (IMHO)
5 - when the ink/paint and paper his dried re-charge a drawing pen with
drawing inks and delineate (draw the lines that you think are important and
effective)
There you are! An ink & water color painting/drawing. Easy innit!
There is finesse and part of that is the appreciation of how the inks and
paints bleed across the surface of the paper. Sometimes it can be a real
killer. At other times it can be quite fantastic - a wonderful combination
of artistic and material effects
In fact, it is so easy I wonder if the process described about has its
digital equivalents?
It should be easy applying a few bleed parameters, paint/ink behavior
patterns and have a wonderful electronic equivalent
