KAY'S MASTER TIPS
- When using a wet on wet technique, and your colors will touch and run together, always use colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel, or colors that will blend to produce a pretty color. Colors that are complementary or across the color wheel from each other will create a brown color if they mix together.
- When doing splattering, if you want larger splatters, use your hand to tap on your brush. If you want tiny splatters, use another brush or a firm object to tap your brush with.
- To achieve rich colors in your watercoloring, let your first layer dry, then go back over it with another layer of paint. Watercolors are transparent, but you can build up beautiful color by layering.
