Some Basics of Watercolor

Hello Everyone!

As the King said in 'Alice in Wonderland' , it's always best to begin at the beginning!!
So in this video, I am covering some of the very basic and most useful deas, techniques, materials, tips, and methods that I have used for years in developing my approach to watercolor.

Of course, as I always say and firmly believe, there is no one "right" way to paint in watercolor. There is the way that works best for you. So there may be some I cover here that you find applicable, or not much.

But in any case, I hope you find it entertaining, and in some way helpful.

Happy Painting and Thanks for Watching!
Tom
