Don't be Scared of Using Watercolor White Paint #1 (I Love it!)

Don't be scared of using watercolor white paint & don't let anyone put you off using it. It's my best friend, I love it!

For your fine, detailed and realistic paintings it is perfect. Today I'm going to share some reasons why I love watercolor white with you. Firstly there are no rules about what you can and can't use in your painting. I'm definitely a firm believer in using whatever works for you. Secondly, whilst using an opaque white isn't traditional it is probably THE most important colour in my palette, and I wouldn't be without it. Let me show you why and how I use it.

When you've finished watching this video if you want additional help on using white paint can I recommend this playlist which really delves into the subject in many ways: https://bit.ly/3no4q35
