Watercolor Mini Lesson: Creating Color Value with Water to Paint Ratios

Watercolor Mini Lesson: Creating Color Value with Water to Paint Ratios

Hi Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by. I’m so grateful you’re here. I have a super fun mini tutorial for you today. In this video, I’m sharing how to change the value of watercolor paint by controlling your water to paint ratios.

I get asked this question a lot, “how do I control the water when I’m watercoloring?” The key is practicing the water to paint ratio and this is a super simple way to achieve a TON OF JOY while using watercolor.

This mini-tutorial is excerpted from a longer card tutorial on no-line watercoloring. You can watch that tutorial here.

 Take a peek at the tutorial and let me know what you think!
