Abstract

This article from International Artist explores the technique of negative painting, which involves painting the negative spaces around a subject to bring out the positive shapes. The author demonstrates this technique through a plein-air study of daisies in watercolor, but notes that it can be applied to other mediums as well. The article provides a step-by-step guide to negative painting, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the spaces between objects. The author concludes by highlighting the benefits of negative painting in creating visually striking artwork. [Extracted from the article]
