This was very helpful! Not only did you explain what to do and not do, you explained and showed very clearly the WHY of doing or not doing it! Thank you!!
Great hints! May I add mine: have a smaller water container for clean water besides the rinse water. I have two glass jars, the smaller one is the “clean” to pick up water to mix with paint
Thanks Toby. I have probs with subtlety when using my watercolours (well everything actually!!) & the water:paint ratio. I'm off to practice now.......
Thanks, Toby - just good, basic techniques to understand, and then, as you said, you can potentially break later, but having that good foundational understanding helps.
I do watercolor so understand this but you did an excellent demonstration and explained this so well. Thank you for doing a wonderful and easy to understand lesson. So many youtube artists thinks everyone is an artist and forget us just starting out.
Great video! Beginner here. I thought overworking meant adding too many washes or layers (which I have done). I recently attended a class where the instructor and most of the class questioned my technique of starting light and building color. She had me start with a very light background wash and after it dried she instructed me to use thick milky paint on top to achieve deep vibrant color. It worked fine, though not my preference. What am I missing?

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Toby, sometimes I get muddy colours because I’ve been doing the donts. Thank you for some well explained advice.
Happy to help!

I didn't realize, red needed clean water. Yellow yes, but not red. Thanks for explaining!
No problem!

Smily faces; yay! 😂
