Success Tips For A Beginner's Abstract Watercolor Painting

By Carmella Watts


An abstract watercolor painting will actually sell a lot these days. That is why even beginners are doing their best to paint an image that might get the attention of the market. For the beginners, it will be helpful for them if they follow some tips suitable for their project. Here are some of the tips they have to take into consideration.

First of all, the person must remember that the watercolors have a lighter color when they dry. The shade that the person sees while the paint is still wet is not the same shade that one will see once it dries. Through proper practice and more experience, the person should be able to achieve the kind of shade one wants easily.

This is also the kind of paint that the person should expect to dry faster compared to the normal paint. Most of the paint these days require a 24 hour period before it can be dried completely. However, this is the kind of paint that the person does not have to wait long for before it dries completely.

Being water soluble is a selling point of this kind of paint. This means that the person should be able to lift the paint easily even when it has already dried up completely. The person just has to dab the wet brush on the paint that one wants to lift off the canvas. It should immediately turn back to being wet paint. This will help fix mistakes.

Of course, making mistakes should be lessened though. This is because the said paint is still transparent. This basically means that even if the person uses layer and layer of new paint the mistakes one did underneath will still be seen. It is almost impossible to hide it no matter what the person does.

Work in an organize manner. It is highly recommended that when the person is applying the paint one should start with the lighter colors first. After that, the person must then progressively use the darker colors for the said canvas. This way, the person can easily build up the colors, shades, and tones for the said canvas.

Pick the right kind of brush for this kind of project. Even if the person buys a hundred brushes, it will be useless if they do not have the quality that one is looking for in a brush. It is surely more preferable to have a single brush made out of high quality materials instead of multiple brushes made out of low quality materials.

Remember not to add too much water. The most common mistakes that beginners make is that they inadvertently add more water to the paint after washing the brush. In order to avoid such a basic mistake, one is recommended to dab the brush first onto a dry cloth before putting it right into the paint again.

There are those mistakes that are unavoidable. Since this is the case, be sure to know more about the masking techniques for the mistakes made on the abstract watercolor painting. This way, the person can still correct the mistakes made on the said canvas.
