    This is so helpful! I’ve always felt so discouraged and out of control when using watercolors. From this, I’ve learned that I have been stopping in the middle, thinking I’ve made a mess of it. I didn’t realize that I simply hadn’t finished! I have a pile of “failures” that I can go back to. Thank you, Michele!

      exactly. "Painting along" isn't the same as explaining the principles guiding the decisions. I feel like, all the various components which which are needed to create a painting, are finally starting to come together and "click". yay Michele!

    Thanks for sharing these basic rules for watercolor. This is going to prove so useful when I finally open the first tube. No matterwhat medium I choose, I often make up my own rules after exposure to that medium, and I realize there are some things that should never be done. Watercolor is so interesting. looking forward to bending it to my unconventional will.

    Michele, what a gorgeous painting! Such excellent instruction! I learned so much from this. There are many beautiful lakes here in Northern Lower Michigan, and I love to paint them, and the surrounding hills and trees. Your instruction about wetting the borders of the path to avoid hard edges will be so useful to me for improving my lake edges. Also loved your tip about how to keep the path looking flat, rather than tipped forward. I can't wait until it's warm enough to get outside and paint! Thanks again! Donna

    Hello. You mentioned that in the UK we don't get reddish soil. Please go and look at south Devon cliffs in the sunset. There's a caravan park above one area where the red sandstone cliffs looked like they were on fire! Our foundries used to use a very red sand for making the moulds ready to cast engines and machine parts. Not sure which beach they were allowed to use to extract it - but it was in millions of tonnes! Sandwell in the west Midlands has a dark red sandstone. Monks used to look after the well in the sand - hence its name. It's reddish. Further over, Kidderminster and Redditch and Rednall - all named after their red sandy soil. There's even a whole nature reserve from inland not coastal wind blown sand that's millenia old and has even formed rocks from that sand! I hope you get a chance to get out and about in the UK to photograph and paint one of these areas.
