Wet on Wet- Painting with a wet brush on wet paper.
Take a thick brush and paint clean water evenly across your paper. The paper should become wet but not drippy…no puddles. Paint pigment on the surface evenly.
- Irregular wash- Brush on clean water first. Drip dark pigment on top. Pick up paper and move it around and see what happens.
Wet on Dry- This means you work with a wet brush on dry paper. This technique is well-suited for the painting areas that require greater control and more saturated colors as in the foreground of a landscape.
- Flat Wash- Wet wash brush with paint on dry paper.
- Graded Wash- Mix darker hue make a pass at the tip, clean brush and make another pass using clean water.
Watercolor Texture Techniques
Lifting Wet Watercolor - When watercolor is still wet on the paper, it is easy to blot and lift. If it is so wet that it is still shiny, you will possibly lift all the color. If it has lost its shine, the swipe of a brush will lift the color. If the brush is too wet, you will create a Back Wash and cause a “bloom”.
Salt Texture Watercolor Techniques - A small sprinkle of salt can be applied when the watercolor and paper is wet, but must stay on the surface until the paint is dry. Clean the salt off after the painting dries!!!
