Watercolor Painting Tips for Beginners
Watercolor Painting Watercolors can be difficult and messy to use. But the results are completely worth the efforts.
1 Watercolor Painting Equipment: Primarily use a fine tip, and round brush around. Keep plenty of water to wash your brushes. Use a heavy paper for watercolor painting. You will require a lot of ventilation.
2 • How to Mix Colors: Mix a big amount of color at one time. Make sure you mix only 2 or 3 colors at a time together.
3 • What is a Wash? A wash gives background and texture to your painting. For a wet wash, brush plain water over the paper and then apply color. For a dry wash apply the color directly on dry paper.
4 • What are Gradients? Gradients are gradual color changes in a painting. Gradients are of 2 types, wet gradient and moist gradient.
5 • Use of other materials: Salt gives crystal texture to watercolors in a painting. Dab dry tissue on wet paint to give it a paper finish. Let alcohol drip from the brush on wet paint for a droplet effect.
Conclusion The best part is that with watercolors, mistakes can be reworked to blend in with other patterns. Practice will give you mastery over watercolors and its various techniques.
