Using Watercolors For a Turntable?

Описание: This is a watercolor painting tutorial for anyone who wants to try painting a piece of audio equipment like this iconic Technics SL-1200 MK2 turntable. There are so many valuable techniques you can learn from painting old audio gear.

This painting started with a green wash to unify all the machine-themed works in the show. I used wet-on-wet techniques and liquid mask to capture metallic highlights, reflections from windows, and warm wood tones to create depth and dimension.

Colors used:
Perylene Green
Payne's Gray
Yellow Ochre
Burnt Umber
Burnt Sienna
