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?

"Erasing" Watercolor Mistakes
A Mini Watercolor Tutorial by MayaxKiwi
We all make mess up our watercolor paintings sometimes, even me! (Frequently my foster kittens.)
Lifting is the process of removing watercolor pigment from your papers surface with a paper towel or sometimes a dry brush.
PRO TIP: using an untextured soft paper towel works miracles! Some napkins and towels tear or leave behind bits of material. Viva Cloth-like Paper Towels are my absolute favorite and must-have for any watercolorist! This is not sponsored or endorsed- I’m saying this because it’s true! Good luck!
