Even when my #watercolor #painting doesn't come out as nicely as I'd hoped, I always learn or reinforce a lesson. And it's still fun! (Coloring pages: lines were provided for all 3 of these.) Mountains: I learned that I can't accurately create a gradient of colors in separate wells. I need to paint ALL the mountains with the lightest purple, let it dry, then go over foreground mountains with successively darker and more saturated layers. Hawk: if I want to leave negative space, I need to block it out beforehand. I'm too heavy handed with the color otherwise, leaving zero negative space. Parrot: metallic paints perform SO WELL over existing colors (much better than on their own).
