Waiting to understand how not to reactivate watercolor after it’s dry??

Thank you very much. Not reactivating the first layers is a matter of drying thoroughly and being very gentle with subsequent layers. Playing will get you into trouble once the first layers start softening up again with water. Plan, paint quickly and leave it alone. In other words - get in and get out!

We have ravens in Australia, and they are definately black, with blue eyes . We also call them scavengers, because they will get into your waist bin and eat garbage .

[@lyndanoel2545]

good day Shelley - this should be interesting!

[@lyndanoel2545]

I am signed into RUclips and can make comments on other postings but can never post on yours so that's why I always post in this location, hope that makes sense :)
