thank you Rebecca, it is very useful. I still struggle to soften

[@RebeccaRhodesWatercolorArtist]

You are welcome, keep practicing!

[@kathryncurry8728]

Love your tutorials. Could you do one on cold vs warm colors. I understand the difference, but have a harder time when trying to determine if a particular color is warm or cool. For example, is this blue warm or cool?

[@RebeccaRhodesWatercolorArtist]

Great suggestion! To determine whether a color is warm or cool, I often google a question to see how the color is described by the manufacturer: "Is Winsor & Newton French Ultramarine Blue warm or cool?"

[@kathryncurry8728]

@@RebeccaRhodesWatercolorArtist Yeah, but I’d love to be able to tell by looking at them. Just don’t see it sometimes.

[@RebeccaRhodesWatercolorArtist]

I keep a list nearby and double check when I can't remember. :)

[@bradfordyorks5055]

Using the smooth side of the paper - Do you know if this as equally sized as the intended surface?

[@RebeccaRhodesWatercolorArtist]

I'm not sure, sorry.

[@bradfordyorks5055]

Neither am I. I'd have thought it's sprayed onto the intended side of the paper although there would be some leakage through as the paper goes through the rollers - Probably makes no difference now that I think about it!@@RebeccaRhodesWatercolorArtist

[@RebeccaRhodesWatercolorArtist]

It's a good question!
