5 watercolor hacks to take your paintings to the next level

[@malintvedt2616]

I have a story for you that is kinda fun and almost unbelievable; very strange but so amazing....!
For the last two days, I have been reading and following this fantastic book about watercolors that I bought (in Swedish) about half a year ago and today I got onto RUclips to search for some more good practices and totally by random I ended up with this video. Which I really appreciated!

[@happylittlefingerz8995]

Ohh... Such a huge coincidence, but very joyous isn't it. Enjoy your hobby and passion to the fullest. I know how even the smallest improvement in ourselves makes us so happy❤

[@griffinharvey3910]

Thank you so much. You're a good teacher, and your work is appreciated.

I loved this video! I haven't started to paint yet but this video made me feel very excited to get started and to learn watercolor.

Thank you Kristin those techniques were so interesting luved the last one with the paper held upright. The natural blending looked really great!

Thank you! ❤

[@pesto12601]

Hack #1... use 100% cotton professional and expensive watercolor paper.... or these techniques won't come close to working well. Not sure why these youtubers always forget to mention this!

[@kristinvanleuven]

I agree! If you’ve followed me for a while you know I talk about paper quality being most important a lot! It definitely makes all the difference

[@Babyjohn8170]
