watercolors are a beauty its very easy to paint with watercolor  for example its ideal for relaxing ,holiday painting session.The almost immediate drying properties of watercolors paints mean you can produce a quick sketch of that wonderful landscape that's in front of you and will inspire you and remind you of that time for years to come..recalling the sights,sounds,aromas and emotion like no photograph alone could ever rekindle.Yet for many,watercolor painting techniques aren't alwayss the easiest to master certainly untill you get used to them.

It has a mind of its own that can at times seem to fiht you all the way.Yet when you learn to accept that it sometimes pulls you in directions you didn't expect, suddenly you start to seehappy accidents in your pictures that you learn to exploit,that previously you regarded as disasters

this means you need a bit more pre planning your painting which once mastered, will stand you in good stead, watever type of paint medium you use.

And don't worry .,this pre planning isn't rocket science. It's just thinking for a second here you want to reserve the lightest parts of your paintingbefore you actully start to paint.
