Getting Started with Wet in Wet Watercolor: Pussywillow Tutorial

Grow your wet in wet watercolor skills and create beautiful soft effects in watercolor! Using wet in wet watercolor is a wonderful way to create delicate transitions of color and soft texture for beautiful, flowing effects. It's also one of the techniques that gives watercolor a reputation for being difficult, so understanding how it works can be really helpful.
This tutorial shows you how to start with a soft background and create a foundation for your painting, planning ahead while leaving room for the painting to develop on its own. When you start with a soft, wet-in-wet background, you can keep your painting loose and expressive, or add layers of detail for a realistic result; it's up to you!

#Fearless Artist: What if you were more focused on the quality of the process of painting than your idea of a perfect result? We so easily stifle creativity when we give into a fear mindset, worrying that we can't make the art we dream of making, or that we don't have what it takes to create art from the heart.
I tackle mindset issues with the goal of inspiring and encouraging you in your creative journey with my FEARLESS ARTIST email series. Join here: http://bit.ly/2NFSQ1e
