How to Keep Watercolour in Control

IN WATERCOLOUR EVERY TIME YOU PAINT YOU END UP WITH A MESS BECAUSE WATERCOLOUR ARE THE THE MOST DIFFICULT MEDIUM.

SO JUST REMEMBER THAT WHEN PAINTING WATERCOLOUR, PAINT ONE LAYER AND STOP AND LET IT DRY BEFORE GOING ON TO THE NEXT LAYER AND KEEP YOUR PAINTING IN CONTROL.

Thanks Aima. Of course, very often you need to paint the next layer while the previous one is still damp - skies for example.

However Aima makes an important reminder that all too often, we rush into the next layer instead of letting it dry properly.

One of the most important qualities you need to develop in watercolour painting is 60 seconds of added patience to let things dry off!
