  • In this video " Do You Overwork Your Watercolor Paintings?" I will explain why I sometimes deliberately overwork my watercolor paintings. It's NOT always wrong to overwork your watercolor paintings, but you need to commit to the decision wholeheartedly. Please watch to the end as the explanation will help to make sense of this slightly radical approach.

    This advice on over working and just keeping going sometimes is the validation I needed to hear. Sometimes I too have produced my best when pushing forward. Sometimes not ..but I am learning when to stop and not feel like I've failed. It's really liberating. Your comments and tutorials are so appreciated by me. Thank you.

    I loved the overworked segment. I tend to do that and eventually end with something good.

    It's actually refreshing to hear this advice. As a beginner, people tell you not overwork things when you're already feeling anxiety about STARTing the painting! It's nice to think in the way you describe. Thanks

    Very nice. Love the boldness, energy, colours, the dark against light to give it that lift and that spectacular watercolour effect.

      Thanks BL. Do you go into mixed media when you are reworking or keep it to watercolour?

      @@howardjones2159 besides white gouache, I exclusively use watercolour- like most rank amateurs my paintings tend to lack tonal contrast - but an amazing tool I use to remove paint is a magic eraser - the great John Saliminen shows what can be done at the 30 min mark in this amazing video (worth watching the whole video IMO

    Hi Howard, first of all I just wanted to thank you for the download you made from the ten tips. Some are so recognizable! Especially the last one nr 10 from earlier times. you hardly dared to continue painting at a certain point. But indeed. It will not hang in the museum so just go for it is good advice.
    I also found the demowas fun and educational.
    I also love Bockingford paper, especially the 200lb.
    When I paint on the Bockingford rough I often use the back side. It is painting better for me.
    I do the same with Saunder Waterford rough.

      Hi Edo. I should imagine it will take a lot of punishment too. Do you favour the rough surface or the NOT?

      @@howardjones2159 Hello Howard, I prefer not surfaces. But the reverse side of Saunders Waterford I do like a lot too.
      They say Wesson painted on 200lb Bockingford rough.
      I always get a overload on granulation on the front of this paper. So I like here the back also more. Less granulation. More fluid washes.
