So how was your experiment on colors? I hope you all enjoyed the lessons so far. If you all enjoyed the lessons, I know that you would love this new lesson.

The second technique is the wet-on-dry technique. I know that you already know what to do. Work on the space allotted to the wet-on-dry technique.

This is actually the easiest because your watercolor paper is dry already and you don’t have to wet the bristles of your brush. But be sure that the bristles of your brush are dry. Put some paint on your [...]

The use of complementary colors is very important in water color painting. By the way, the technique often used in water color painting is called the “transparent method.” This means that when you want a color to be lighter, you [...]

Before we start learning how to paint, we must first learn about colors.
Don’t you know that you can paint using only three colors? Maybe some would find this hard to believe but actually it’s true. You can make a lot of colors by mixing only three, namely, red, blue, and yellow. These colors are called [...]
