~WATERCOLOR PAINTING TIPS~ PAINT WITH COLORED WATER: Never use the paint itself, or you get sloppy shiny blotches (and waste a lot of paint), instead paint from pallet with colored water. NEVER RUB BRUSH ACROSS PAINT CAKE: All you need to do is dip the tip of the brush in the water on-top-of the paint cake. MIX YOUR OWN COLORS!: They always look much better, and you will avoid a clown picture! Use the pallet. HOLD PAINT BRUSH BY FERRULE: The closer to the tip you hold the brush, the more control you have. ONLY USE THE TIP OF BRUSH: don’t use the whole side of the brush unless you are filling a big open area. If you do for details, you loose control and loose clean edges. NEVER SCRUB WITH BRUSH: You will tear apart your paper and make paper balls. LET AN AREA DRY BEFORE WORKING NEXT TO IT: If you have green grass and try to put in a brown tree trunk immediately, the brown and green will leach into each other and make a mess. DO DETAILES LATER: Wait for an area to fully dry, or else any detail will turn into a fuzzy mess. TO MAKE SOMETHING LOOK FURTHER AWAY, ADD MORE WATER TO THE PALLET TO THIN-OUT THE COLOR: Far-away objects look lighter.
