Answer 1

1. Watercolor Washes

One tip for any watercolor wash: If you notice a mistake in a previous stroke, don’t try to fix it. Once the wash has started to dry, a new stroke will almost definitely be more noticeable than any small mistake. It’s best to leave these happy little accidents as they are.

2. Wet-In-Wet Watercolor Painting

Wet-in-wet painting is one of the most basic techniques — so basic you might have already done it before without realizing it!

Start by brushing water (and only water) onto your paper. Then dip your brush in paint and spread it over the water wash. The paint will feather and diffuse like magic.

3. Underpainting

An underpainting is essentially a monochrome wash that's used for the first layer of the painting. You’ll add layers of transparent washes over the underpainting, which gives realistic and luminous effects.

First, mix a light purple shade (a combo of cadmium red and ultramarine blue works great). Neutral shades of blue or green can also work.

Lightly paint your subject using the purple, and pay careful attention to light and shade. Since you're only working in one color, you can really focus on rendering the shape. Use a soft brush and a light hand to keep the purple from overpowering the rest of the painting.

4. Gradients and Color Blending

A simple watercolor wash uses just one color, but you can add depth to your work by using more hues in a gradient. Start by adding fresh watercolor to a wet paint surface.

Then place the second color — either a more intense version of the same hue or a different hue entirely — right beside the first color.

Because the paints are on a wet surface, they'll blend slightly and create a natural gradient in the tones. You can control how neat or painterly a gradient comes out by the wetness of the paint.

5. Layering Watercolors

Once a color of paint has dried, you can add layers of watercolor to create dimension, texture and color variation. Just know that the paper has to be completely dry in between washes so that the colors don’t blend together and get muddy.

Wait until your initial color has dried completely (not damp — dry!), then paint the second color on top. Just don't add much water to the second color since this can re-wet the initial color and make the two blend.

To make the lines of your second color less severe, you can wet the brush with water and brush gently to feather the line.
