Mastering wet-on-wet techniques with watercolor painting (Part 1 - Adjacent washes)

Wet-on-wet techniques can seem daunting, especially for beginner watercolorists. In this 3 part video series, I will break down every single problem one can encounter when working with the wet paint, and demonstrate the fool-proof techniques to avoid mistakes, in order to achieve the desired effects - be it smooth transitions, soft edges or runny effects.

Part 1 of this course focuses on "adjacent washes", which is about smoothly connecting shapes of different colors. Although strictly speaking adjacent washes are not wet "on" wet, mastering them, however, is a precursor and a fundamental skillset to the real "wet-on-wet" technique. Because a successful wet-on-wet effect requires both the right paint consistency and timing. But often I see beginners not getting the right consistency for their first layer. No wonder why when they apply another coat of paint on top of it, it's not giving them the desired effect. That's why today's module is dedicated to mastering techniques for joining shapes and colors. If you are a more advanced watercolor painter, I hope you still find this video helpful, because judging paint consistency is a core skill we can all brush up every once in a while.

Disclaimer: I have made every single mistakes demonstrated in this course and I continue to make them to this day.

Overcoming mistakes while making friends with them is a rewarding and everlasting journey!
