Painting in watercolour is like an adventurer's quest, take one path and you will discover brilliant, gem-like colours, another path will lead you into a mire of colour-less mud. The difference is knowing how watercolour works and how different pigments react when mixed together.
I hope, that here, beginners will find guidance - away from the mire and muddy path, armed with newly aquired knowledge of well tried and practical techniques, to a realm where colours can glow.
Including advice on choosing watercolour brushes and watercolour paper. |
