(Mostly just to remind me)

1.Use light and dark color composition

2.Mix enough color to fill the area you need to paint

3.Light pressure on the brush is a pointed stroke

4.Paint largest areas first

5.Wet on Wet spreads

7.Avoid bleeding, don't put wet paint on wet paint

8.paint details on top of light dry paint

9.Choose the correct brush size for the area you are painting

10.If the color becomes too dry, dip into water and paint

11.Rinse and clean only when you change color

12.Put some gaps for a more natural look

13.ALWAYS MIX COLORS, colors straight from tube are boring

14.WATERCOLOR IS ALL ABOUT LAYERS

-start with light

-build up with darker

-end with highlights/shadows
