Today, I show you my favorite wet-into-wet practice technique. This practice covers some important skills such as: watercolor timing, values, and brushwork.
It also creates a beautiful mono-chrome sky. The more time we spend practicing these fundamentals the stronger our paintings will be.
Enjoy!

What I have found is that you can use staining and non staining paints to your advantage. For example, if you use a graded wash with staining colors like a warm yellow on the background and wait for it to dry, then you can re-wet the page without reactivating the stained color. Then you can incorporate more wet onto wet clouds etc over the initial wash.
Thank you for sharing this video, I've watched loads of sky's being painted in watercolour yours is by far the best yet. 👍😷👍
Thank you, Matthew, for being so generous with your knowledge.
You're very welcome!
Super helpful and a great exercise for beginners (like me!)
Thank you, Mathew, for another great instructional video. The best educational RUclips channel on watercolor painting.
Matt, can you take your viewers step by step through a series of a few videos of creating a painting using your 5 ways? It would be so super to start with you from the beginning and learning to mix a couple of basic colors all the way to the finished painting.
I'm surface tension, nice to meet you.
Pleasure is ALL mine.
I'm watching this again. Lovely cloud, and gentle music. Thanks!
Love watching your tutorials. So easy to follow and I’ve learned so much!
I like your explanations while you teach. Also, you have a pleasant voice.
Thank you! I appreciate that.
Wow!!! You are a natural teacher!! New subscriber…very happy I found your channel!!
Yes, lately I think often I need practice of handling a brush. Quite essential.
Thanks Matthew! Great clouds 😊
Glad you liked it!
I’ve learnt so much in your free video! I was about to give up on a painting, but after watching the video I went back in and improved the painting!
Glad you are showing how to hold your brush: not near the ferule for a nice and loose line.
thank you, i will try this practice.
You are terrific, Matt. Looking forward to my lessons with you tomorrow as I didn't have time today.
Thank you for the kind words!
Such a lovely video, almost meditative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for your lessons they a a really pleasure
Thank you for your teachings. I learn so much from you.
Wow! Such sense! I am having a great time focusing on the basics!
You will improve dramatically if you enjoy the fundamentals!
Matthew I'm learning so much from you. Thank you!
I'm so glad to hear that!
Excellent ! You really help a lot, thank you
Loves It!
Glad to hear it!
This is great, Matt! I have been looking for ways to practice and I'm going to give this a try.
Glad to hear it!
Cool exercises this is really helping beginners a lot!
Excellent
This was a great tutorial thank you Matt
You're very welcome!
Thanks Matthew. I am new to watercolor, and struggling. I will do this cloud!
Best of luck!
Since this is my first time here, hello from Canada 🇨🇦.
I like using wet-on-wet on backgrounds. I only wet one side of the paper, and will use masking tape on the sides to prevent buckling.
I've used watercolors for the past 4 years or so. I still have to think about paint-to-water ratios before I start painting.
PS I also have a problem with overworking my paintings. Will watch the video you linked to.
a great tutorial!
Thank you!
Thanks Matt another video of yours that I learned from :-)
Thanks Steve!
Thanks man
"so this is fairly small" lmao right
very nice ❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent video
Glad you liked it!
Thanks! Just what I needed. I tried using wet into wet sky using blue, red and yellow. Not that successful. I'll try this monochromatic sky next.
Great video again Matt - came into your channel recently and learned a lot. I’m pretty new to watercolor within the last year and have been trying to soak in as much as I can
How long have you been a watercolor artist ?
Who else's heart seized when he got the wood table wet? My mom freaked out when we wouldn't use coasters... lol
haha!
I see your drawing board behind you. Where do you put your pallet?
Hi, Matt. Been watching some of your videos lately. I wanted to try pre wetting my paper on both sides but do you think the quality of the paper is also important to achieve the same effects? I'm currently using a student grade paper and I wonder if it will work. Hehe Thank you and love your videos btw.❤
Hello Delilah, glad you are enjoying the videos! Quality paper really does make a difference. I recommend 100% cotton paper if you can.
Matthew,
I have not been able to find the link to get/buy your Watercolor Course.
I am an amateur in need for guidance, love your style, so pls help me.
Thanks,
Pilar
Hi Matt. Thanks for the video. If I don't finish the painting, can the paper be pre wet again the next day?
Yes, just be very gentle so you don't lift any paint off.
I need a “real” workshop, is there such thing?!?!
yes, there are some good digital ones as well if I do say so. www.learntopaintwatercolor.com/watercolor-essentials
Check your local colleges for classes also.
Do you have a watercolor society nearby that you can join? They offer workshops and classes and you can meet other artists. Artists are very generous.
Was bedeutet Malerei........................?
That's a nice video and recommendations.Thank you.
But it would me much more useful and aesthetically pleasing if you didn't use sped up recording. Unnatural jerky brush movements just defeat your good point about learning to control brush strokes.
