Master your disaster!

Here are my 10 top tips for fixing watercolours

  • Consider strengthening design
  • Lighten up your painting by lifting the opaque paint and repaint in a lighter colour.
  • Understanding the difference between opaque and semi-transparent . Paints such as burnt sienna, burnt umber are sedimentary so lift off fairly easily
  • Look for variety in shapes , including large, medium, and small shapes
  • Extend the subject matter beyond the edges of the painting.
  • Experiment with repetition, negative painting, texture-splatter, dry brush, and stamping to break up the space in the backgroundor or foreground
  • Enrich your painting by layering similar transparent colours .
  • Darken some areas next to the lightest ones to create depth.
  • Using gouache, Use crayons , pencils
  • Create a focal point to draw the viewer’s attention.
  • – Assess your painting by looking for areas that are ugly, boring, wimpy, or disjointed.muddy or only one value
