VIDEO: Basic No-Line Watercolor Tips

Well - I shouldn't say "basic." There's nothing basic looking about no-line watercolor - I think it always looks great.

But I think people think it's hard, and it's not, so I feel like I always need to sell the idea that anyone can do it - because anyone can!

So I chose a small image for my "basics" video - and a simple one - which is what I'd recommend - flowers are great - but keep it simple - complex shapes like roses or hydrangea might be a longer, slower process. These morning glories were perfect - not too many details to add in at the end. 

Remember, too, that watercolor requires layers - I pretty much do the same thing every time - wet on wet to get the color down and blended. Wet on dry for shading and fine details. 

And that's really it! PS - after years of begging, my brushes are finally being carried at Blick!!
