I've been painting for most of my life, yet, I still keep making the same major mistakes with watercolors! In this video, I talk about 10 major issues I continue to encounter, even after all these years! But, are they fixable?
1. Using Cheap Tools & Materials
2. Not Creating a Plan Before I Begin
3. Working Too Fast or Too Slow
4. Trying to Fix Mistakes
5. Water: Too Much & Not Enough
6. Color Mixing
7. Establishing Value
8. Using Clean Water
9. Not Knowing When to Stop / Overworking
10. Expecting Perfection
Gear Used in Video:
• Travelogue Hand•Book Journal
• Mission Gold watercolors
• Artist Loft #8 Vienna Filbert brush
• Grumbacher #5 Goldenedge Round brush
