You’ll learn 3 essential watercolor techniques in My Modern Met Academy’sIntroduction to Watercolor Painting.
Wet-on-Wet
The wet-on-wet approach showcases watercolor paint’s best qualityits ability to create beautiful, ethereal washes.
To produce this technique, simply wet part of the paper with your brush.
Wet-on-Dry
Wet-on-dry is another fundamental approach.
Its created by painting a wash of wet paint on dry paint.
First, paint a wash onto your dry paper.
After it has dried, apply paint on top of it.
Because of the transparency of the paints, you will most likely see the bottom layer behind that stroke.
This technique is a fun way to explore layers of color and loose strokes.
Dry Brushing
Dry brushing is just as it sounds.
Take a dry (or mostly dry) brush and dip it into your paint.
Afterward, spread it over a dry piece of paper.
The result will be a highly textured mark thats great for implying fur or hair.
