The technique of water coloring is one of immense beauty and delicacy, infusing creativity and dazzling everyone with its inner endless possibilities of expression.The once considered simple practice of illustrating a specific character, item or surrounding through this method can turn out to produce surreal works of art. The quantity of water, the specific tones and the exact combinations between the hues are specific elements that will influence define the end result in a manner that will make that specific watercolor painting your own. Every project is different, one of a kind but this specificity is what generates an aura of authenticity around the creation.

Taking the entire process step by step is the right approach, especially if you are a watercolor beginner. Start by sketching out the overall lines of your design but keep in mind to use a very sharp pencil and keep a steady light hand on your paper to maintain a clean, delicate canvas. When it comes to the actual paper we recommend you to choose a porous type that will help you absorb excess water. Start with the basic tones and grow from there, merging hues until you will reach the exact desired tones. The quantity of water necessary will depend on the desired effect create don your canvas. You can opt for a diffuse design where more water and discreet tones will characterize the piece.We all love those dripping effects many watercolor paintings have but the truth is the mastering of this technique is quite tricky; select a shinier paper that will allow the colored water to flow and drip better. You must understand that the mastering of the watercolor technique might take a while so be patient, take your time and persevere.
