When I started painting all I thought I needed to do way lay down the color, The first time the only time, sometimes I would go over the color when things weren’t working but with watercolor I knew this is how you make the color muddy . Watercolor in itself should be fresh. The more I have worked with watercolor the more I have learned to wait for the surface to dry and then add more to get a richer color and dimension
I started out as a watercolorist and I am finding that I am loving it all over again. It is portable, takes up such a little space and the mixing of the colors are infinite. So… do layer your watercolor but… wait for it to dry between.
