1. Drawn

Sometimes, drawing the wrong stroke can make it

Watercolor loses its original brilliance.

When you find yourself adding more and more details,

Maybe it's time to stop.

For a painting,

Over-grooming is better than being loose.

Here are some suggestions to avoid this:

Don't pay too much attention to details,

Try to avoid nitpicking and correction.

Do not try to soften edges that are already dry.

Do not apply too many layers of paint.

The fewer layers, the fresher the painting.

2. Use a damp brush to redraw on damp paper

This situation may destroy the original painting,

The painting above shows the consequences of this mistake.

So if you want to draw a new layer,

Be sure to wait for the previous layer to dry completely.

3. Trace the outline of the object

When drawing a background around a painted object,

Beginners will tend to outline objects with dark colors.

This method can make the object look unnatural,

There is a feeling of being cut off.

A few suggestions on how to avoid it:

Change the color around the object

Alternate stroke direction

Combine clear and soft edges

4. The color is turbid

When you try to draw on a wet layer,

The color will appear cloudy.

Therefore, it is best to dry the drawing paper completely or

Add color in particularly wet cases.

Another error that causes this problem is:

Two or more opaque pigments are mixed.

Try to exclude opaque pigments,

Reduce the number of mixed colors.

5. Give up too early! (uppercase and bold)

At some stage of your painting process,

You may be very dissatisfied with your drawing.

In fact, this is many artists

All experienced very normal situations,

So don't rush to shred and repaint the unfinished work.

Keep creating as you might finish your painting

I was surprised that it was so great!
