    OMG! I've been so frustrated with transparency. Full disclosure, I was using mixed media paper. I received my 140lb hot press (prefer that to cold) paper and I tried transparency again several days in a row. I was so frustrated. This is why I put watercolor down almost 20 years ago and stuck with acrylic and oil. I even did better with watercolor pencils. THEN, I found this video. ALL of my previous problems (not just transparency) have been solved. In every case, I was using too much water on my pallet rather than leaving it in my brush.
    Thank you SO MUCH! That ONE lesson made all of the difference.
