Coast in the Netherlands - easy and fast You don't believe it? Easy and fast watercolor painting is not rocket science. From a boring photo to an attractive watercolor. That's exactly what I'm showing here. With just a few colors and just one brush (except for two "trick brushes"). It will definitely work! With the right approach, it's almost impossible not to succeed. Try it out, it works!

Be careful: most inexpensive promotional papers are not even suitable for exercises. 2) Pay attention to the moisture level of the paper. For soft, cloudy skies, the relevant area of the paper should be evenly moistened. However, if you want granulation (rather unlikely with skies and clouds), then the paper must be dry. 3) Constantly check the brush fill (the amount of paint in the brush). This is the most difficult part and can only be mastered with a lot of practice. Especially with wet-on-wet painting, too much moisture (or paint) in the brush very quickly creates these ugly "cauliflower edges". For soft, blending gradients in skies and clouds: start with light, watery colors - darker colors are added to the still damp paper in a creamy consistency. I described all of this many years ago in my free online course: THESE THREE POINTS ARE UNFORTUNATELY NOT GIVEN ENOUGH ATTENTION. BUT IT COULD BE SO SIMPLE...
