What I mean is "coming on boldly" w/ color in watercolor isn't a technique that works well ;-D WC is a layering process, as you know. You start out with a wash of pale color... then another, building slowly one layer upon another - until you're done. I never had the patience, but what I lack in patience for WC I made up for w/ pastels. My own gift is in music, lyrics, language & words! I can craft a sentence!We're all artists of 1 thing or another, if we look at ourselves to find our artistry.

When I'm doing the glazing technique yes, love your belly danding. :) True art form as well.!

Sorry for the long delay in getting back to this comment. However, your quote"because I just came on too bold and strong, which does not lend itself well to watercolor!" Whether or whatever your lending is, no means, your lending is wonderful in all of your art! :0 A true admirer I am. :)

Thanks so much for your comments and sorry for the long delay, My only advice for learning the control of watercolors are "practice", you'll know when to swipe away water, or how much pigment to put on your paper, etc. another great tip, that I think all watercolor artists should know. Do NOT be AFRAID, it's only paper and paint!

This was equally impressive, but I'm sad not to have not been to glimpse the final work.I studied art & art history in college before switching to music at UCLA.Watercolor is an artform that require MUCH in the way of patience, as you must come in light and work to dark. My works always became muddied because I just came on too bold and strong, which does not lend itself well to watercolor!My best watercolor was one which I painted and then rinsed off ;-)I always did better in pastels!

Great video and excellent control with the watercolor!Ive been drawing for years but never really tried painting until recently. My main interest is to use this to color/shade "quick" concept sketches :) Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for learning the control of watercolors?

Oh and P.S. "The Girls with a Pearl Earing" is definitely a "must own" book or movie, if your interested in Vermeer. :) I prefer movies, however I hear the book was good as well.

Thanks so much, Yeah, Watercolor itself doesn't have much fan base anymore or ever for that matter, sure wish that would change. Your sweet to comment, and ps I see onyour channel you like Velasquez, hes a fav. of mine, and I did many a paper on him, yEARS ago. :)
