Wet on Wet

Blending Watercolors

Blending Watercolors

A Mini Watercolor Tutorial by MayaxKiwi

Let me show you how to blend watercolors together using two different techniques!

The the wet-on-dry method requires you to mix two colors together for the middle section. This is a great way to get your gradient to be soft and smooth.

The wet-on-wet method allows the water to do all the work for you and leaves behind a beautiful bloom or texture.

Which result do you like best?

The Two Most Basic Watercolor Techniques

The Two Most Basic Watercolor Techniques

A Mini Tutorial by MayaXKiwi

You’re gonna want to SAVE this tutorial for later! These are the two most basic watercolor techniques you need to know!

Wet on Dry: this means the paint is wet but the paper is dry. You’ll get very precise brushstrokes this way- necessary for details!

Wet on Wet: this means the paint is wet AND the paper is wet! Use clean, clear, water for a light coat. Not so much water that your paper will buckle, but just enough so the water will absorb into the top layer. (Check out my tutorial called “The Perfect Amount of Water,” for more help!) Then, drop wet paint onto the wet surface and let it blossom!
