Brent gave me a watercolor set for Christmas, so I've been watching Youtube videos to learn some techniques. Watercolor gives an ethereal yet natural quality to a picture. I was really excited to start using it. Plus the clean up is so easy!
I thought this medium would be easy to use because you paint with it as a kid. I mean you just add some water and start painting right?!
Come to find out, watercolor it's one of the most difficult mediums. Manipulating water and thinking about a picture in terms of layers is not something I'm used to.
I'm hoping to take a Beginner's art class at the local college in April. Learning some basic techniques is really going to be helpful.
