Learn to control liquid watercolor by learning to not control it, let the pigment blend on paper!Keep it simple! what you are really doing is creating a wash, and playing with colors. Have fun painting and you find lots of beautiful things about watercolor!
I like to keep a stock of watercolor card panels cut to the size that I like to use, so when I want to play with color I have paper ready to go!
Use mater to create gradients with the pigment!
These paintings look like a lot of work, but I let the three pigments do all the work, I chose a Cyan, Magenta, and a Cool/Lemon Yellow. from Taylored Expressions, the colors were called Lollipop, Lemon Meringue, and Cookie Monster. So for less than $15 I can get a whole bunch of colors and play out of those tubes of liquid watercolor! So fun right?!!!
So do you use liquid watercolor? if so I would love to learn more about how you use it. If you are afraid of liquid watercolor, what is stopping you from playing with it?
Happy Painting!
