Go With The Flow

I am always puzzled by how little water students use when doing a watercolour.

Water is the KEY to a successful watercolor. Aside from a few other key imperatives such as: leaving white paper, adding juicy darks, balanced midtowns, contrast, design ..... Water and how much and where is the FUNDAMENTAL INGREDIENT for your success.

Be it realism.(1983 watercolor from my back porch)

All use water! So let your watercolor  FLOW!

There I have feared my artistic soul and so should you.
