Create a Personal Line & Wash Watercolor Sketching Style

The standard approach when painting watercolors is that of working from light to dark. However, I take great joy in bending and challenging rules. I've seen a number of great artists not follow this order and get wonderful results. In this tutorial, I explore if I can do so too.
I am a regular urban sketcher, actively involved with Urbansketchers Mumbai chapter. I love sketching outdoors using a line and wash watercolor technique. My technique relies upon identifying big shapes and gently building values.
Making these videos takes a lot of time and effort. If you'd like to show me some love and support, please consider buying me a coffee:

I liked the minimal thing you had going on there at 8:25. You could have stopped there but the end result is just as good. It's a very charming piece and I enjoyed the video.

Haha, I'll admit at that point I did consider the same. When one paints often there is always a next time.
