My teaching manual: Mastering Watercolors - A Practical Guide: amzn.to/3ZF2FRW

In this episode I show you how to handle water to create various paint consistencies. This results in different tones. Tones are the dark or light components of a color.

The next episode in this series will look at all the different colors you can produce with just the three we are using. The result will be a color wheel you can use with future paintings.

I also have a couple of watercolor painting books which I published and distribute through Amazon.
The first one, which has sold over 10,000 copies is bascially my teaching manual and is titled:
Mastering Watercolors - A Practical Guide.
The second is full of step by step demonstrations and is titled: Watercolor Step By Step: https://amzn.to/3z4YXEu
Both books are available in kindle format and paperback.
