WATERCOLOUR Do's and Don'ts | Painting swan feathers and reflections in water
Hi Guys!
In this video I give you my best do's and don'ts for painting in watercolour whilst taking you through the process of my black swan painting. Some of them you may know and some of them you may not but I have included quite a lot of things that, had I known as a beginner, would have saved me a lot of time finding out the hard way- through making mistakes!- so I hope you find it helpful. So if you are a beginner to watercolour or are getting frustrated because you can't get the results or effect you want in your paintings, then this video might help. I also show you how I approach painting feathers and reflections in water. That said, there is no right or wrong way in watercolour-so if you find a way of working that suits you and your style, stick with it! I also welcome any comments or questions in the comments section and do my best to respond to them, so please ask away.
Take care everyone
