Thanks again Joe, great lesson. I have a couple of mistakes to work on - amount of water and or amount of paint be the main ones and getting an extra brush or two will definitely help. Really enjoying these lessons and have learned so much, Thanks again I personally really appreciate your time and effort that you put into these classes :)
I don’t have these issues…one of the first classes I took was told to mix paint to certain consistencies to get what I want…like the consistency of face cream for example or as you say house paint…these a great visuals and really help us beginners
Review of the basics is always good. I have often said that one of the biggest boosts to my work what when I started teaching watercolour. The reason for this is that I have to go over the basics with each new student or class. :-)
@@JoeCartwright see one do one teach one…I tell my piano students this and give them an assignment at least once to teach their parents something they like to do so they have the experience…Agee 100% and I’m loving your classes…I did go ahead and do lesson eleven because I had questions about that subject and I learned so much!!! Bravo!!! 👏
Excellent information, Joe! The only other thing I struggle with is mixing two or more colors and the cleaning of the brush before pulling out the next color. How much water is left in the brush? Don't grab any new water and have dirty palette wells, etc. It is second nature to you but we don't get it. A quick three minute video would answer our questions. By the way, I have two of your watercolor books in my Kindle library!
Excellent, thankyou! Yes, that was me.. putting a tiny dab on my pallet...had a good laugh when you mentioned that one.😉
You’re welcome 😊 Glad you enjoyed it!
This is very helpful, Joe. Many thanks for this very practical tip!
Glad it was helpful Grant!

Thanks Robert. I will be doing a short video on color mixing soon which should cover your questions. Thanks for purchasing my books, much appreciated.
Thanks for creating a mixing video, Joe! That will be great.
Do you ever use watercolour grounds on other surfaces? If so, are you happy with the surface for watercolour purposes?
I only use it on watercolor paper. Though I did experiment with Yuppo plastic printable paper - gives a brighter but less controlled effect.
I’m that person who cleans a brush every single time. I’ll be practicing tone and water control.
Good to hear!
