Great techniques to try with Watercolor

• Wet-on-wet technique: Apply a wash of water on the paper first and then drop colors into the wet area.
• Dry brush technique: Use a dry brush to pick up pigment and apply it to dry paper to create texture and details.
• Salt texture technique: Sprinkle salt on wet paint to create a unique texture.
• Lifting technique: Use a clean, damp brush to lift color from the paper to create highlights or correct mistakes.
• Glazing technique: Apply thin, transparent washes of paint to create depth and layering.
• Sgraffito technique: Scratch into the wet paint with a sharp tool to create fine lines and details.
• Masking fluid technique: Use masking fluid to cover areas where you want to preserve the white of the paper before painting.
• Gradient wash technique: Use a gradual change in color intensity to create a smooth gradient effect.
• Splatter technique: Flick your brush or toothbrush to create a splatter effect for stars, snow, or other textures.
• Negative space painting technique: Paint around the subject matter to create a unique composition.
