The wet-on-wet method
Adding wet paint to a wet surface is used for painting landscapes, simple skies, or soft watercolour washes. It gives a flowy look as we don't have much control over how our paint reacts.
- Wet your brush with plain water and "paint" two rectangles with the clear water.
- Pick up moistened paint from your palette and add colour to your first wet rectangle.
- Add dabs of paint to your second rectangle.
When your paint has begun to dry, see how different it looks.
