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.

1. Wet your brush with plain water and "paint" two rectangles with the clear water.
2. Pick up moistened paint from your palette and add colour to your first wet rectangle.
3. Add dabs of paint to your second rectangle.

When your paint has begun to dry, see how different it looks.
