- In this video I'll show you two UNIQUE approaches for painting the SAME subject!
It's the battle of wet on dry vs wet on wet! Will the two sides look alike or completely different??

I love this comparison, Emily! I definitely love the soft look if wet in wet but it is harder. I am still struggling to get the balance of water and pigment and brush control to get good results with wet in wet. This was a good demonstration, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
What a fun experiment! I like to do wet on wet for the underpainting, then wet on dry for the next layer. It gives the gradation of wet on wet, yet the sharp edges of wet on dry.
Wow. Super. Certainly I will return to this video more than once.
Glad this was helpful for you!
Thank you 😊
To me this has been one of the most applicable videos for me.
When I’m panting I often think slow down, let it dry,
Then do the second layer,
I often go to light on my second layer, wet on wet,
And end up overworking it or just giving up because I can’t get the values dark enough to satisfy me without overworking it
So I need to find that happy medium between the two
Sincerely
JW
Glad it was helpful!
I'm not sure "which is better" is the right question to ask. Both are equally good, just different styles. To say one is better than the other only indicates a person's personal style preference.
definitely go na rewatch this over and over
I like the wet in wet best but both look stunning and I'd be so happy to be able to produce either.
❤❤❤
Me too.
Fantastically helpful demo!!! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done on this tutorial! I usually do a combination wet on wet to start and wet on dry and blending as I work on the details
What amazing techniques. I love the comparison and your explanations. Thanks so much
Thanks for watching!
Loved this demo. I like a combination of both wet and dry also. THANK YOU!
Thanks so much for watching!
I think I've learned more from this show than any other art tutorials on CZcams.
This was so informative, Emily! What a great demonstration. Both techniques are appealing to me and I love both sides of the pup! Thank you so much for sharing this!!
You are so welcome!
Wet on wet with dry brushing definitely I do that with my watercolor paintings.
This was so helpful! Great video!
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you Emily. This is so helpful
Perfect demonstration. Think it's going to really affect my approach to detail. I tend to overwork and obsess. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome!
Such a useful video - thank you for sharing this!
You're so welcome!
I love wet-on-wet the most.
This is really interesting. - it really depends on the subject what is most fitting. for architecture for example i think wet on dry is perfect
The details on the dry is more defined and seem more realistic, however on the wet on wet is softer and luminous. My preference is definitely the wet on wet. It makes it a much better painting that catches and hold your eyes to the painting where you just want to keep admiring it. Thank you very enlightening. 😊
Glad you enjoyed this!
Really enjoyed this!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
This was a really neat experiment. I do feel like the muzzle is slightly more defined in the wet on wer side. I was definitely surprised by how similar both sides are.
Honestly I was, too! 🙂
Excellent 💡
That was interesting, I must try this! Thank you!
Wonderful aquarelle❤️
Thanks for this video 🙏
Welcome!
Wunderbares video. Hat mir sehr geholfen. Danke ❤
Wow! I can’t believe how many questions you answered, that I didn’t even know what ask! This was sooo helpful!
I'm so glad!
Thank you for this informative video Emily! I like a combination of both techniques 😊
You're so welcome!
Great demo lots to take in i would really love for you to do a video of how to do dogs nose and the eye i really struggle with these i get there in the end but make things way more difficult than i need to 🙈🙈
Holy mackerel! They both look amazing!
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic demo with great education! But it only confirms that I need more lessons to figure out when it is best or most desirable to use each technique. Thank you for making the effort!
Glad you liked the demo!
Hullo Emily, I have painted in many "modes" or using a wide array of techniques. I do not believe I have ever used only 1 method when painting with watercolor paints! I enjoy working wet on wet at the beginning of most pictures and changing up what I need to do as I work in the painting depending upon what I want it to look like or what the client wants. I enjoyed watching you demonstrate these methods during this video! A wonderful example! So well done too! Thank you.
Thanks, as always for your kind comments! 🙂
Excellent tutorial! And the free colour downloadable guide is amazing. Thank you so much 🤗
My pleasure!
What a cool demo! I love the wet on wet technique but always use a combo of both. I was surprised at how similar they looked when done but the wet on wet was definitely softer and more painterly if that’s a word! Thank you!
I was honestly HOPING they would look dramatically different, but not so, hah hah!
So, as a customer, and this sounds weird, but I would be disappointed if I asked for a watercolour and got back a wet on dry. I would commission a pen drawing and expect that style, but find it isn't expressive enough like I'd expect from watercolours. This sounds odd, but it is true, and I realized this watching this video. So, it's important that customers see an artist's portfolio!
Such a fantastic video ☺☺☺
You are so kind!
Great comparison! I prefer to use the wet on wet technique but both are essential.
Same here!
Hello, wet on wet has my preference...thanks !
Same here!
I prefer wet on wet, but in your hands,boths are great, thanks.
Aw thank you!
Superbe!😃❤❤🇨🇵
This is truly a wonderful demonstration and discussion. I was just commenting with Steve Mitchell about how his organic style allows so much more freedom versus the more technical style. That's what I'm seeing here in your demo, as well. That softer, more organic feel of the wet/wet allows so much more creative liberties than wet/dry. Of course, when it comes to the detailing, like you said, you gotta let it go. Really well presented video. Thank you and hoping all is well! ~ Mark
Another great demo and informative video! I personally use both approaches most of the time! I use wet in wet mostly in the beginning stages then will start working wet on dry for the details. I like the combination of soft & hard edges, but It depends on the subject and what I want the final result to look like!
I paint the same way--it's hard to use just one technique OR the other, lol!
Sorry, but I’m going to go against the flow, no pun intended! I like the wet on dry side, but would add that the neck could be done in wet on wet. To me, that would be perfect! In Amy case, both are lovely!
It took everything I had NOT to use a little wet on wet in that first side, hah!
Can you show cityscape in wet on wet please
the black area you used Indigo? maybe it's the camera but it looks like Payne's Grey?
It’s Daniel Smith Indigo, which is very close to Payne’s Grey-less blue than other brands.
Wet on dry is more mandatory to learn than wet on wet. .esspecially.. for cityscapes and landscape I think
Which took you longer?
Wet on wet took a little longer. :)
I would like to know if you could me with my watercolor please???
