Wet-on-wet vs wet-on-dry

Wet-on-wet gives soft, blooming washes. Wet-on-dry gives crisp edges. Knowing when to use each is the heart of the medium.

Mixing greens that dont look fake

Tube greens look artificial. Mix your own from blues and yellows. A touch of red mutes them into believable natural tones.

A few good tubes beats a big cheap set. Get a warm and cool of each primary, one good brush, and proper watercolor paper.

My experience: it depends on your specific situation but generally this is good advice.

Loosening up your style

Beginners overwork everything. Let the water do the work. Some of the best passages happen when you step away and let it dry.

Interesting perspective. I never thought about it that way before.

Saving your whites
Nov 12, 2025 7:32 am
Watercolor has no white paint - the paper is your white. Plan your highlights, use masking fluid, and paint around them.

This reminds me of a similar situation I had. The solution was patience.
