How to Get Started
Gather Your Supplies – You’ll need watercolor paints, brushes, watercolor paper, and water.
Experiment with Techniques – Try wet-on-wet (soft, blended effects) and wet-on-dry (sharp, defined edges).
Layer & Blend – Build depth by layering light washes and allowing them to dry between applications.
Embrace the Flow – Watercolor has a mind of its own—embrace the fluidity and let colors mix naturally.
