How Can Learning To Paint Good Basic Watercolors Avoid Heartache?

Recently, I was criticized for an incredibly simple 2 stage learn how to paint watercolors course. I hold my hand up high - the critic is absolutely right...

It was aimed at artist beginners who wanted to learn to paint without having to learn to draw first. This meant that although they may not be too good at drawing, they could still get started painting. Painting landscapes, still-life painting, portraits and mechanical objects can come later.

There are 2 reasons to go right back beyond the basics of painting watercolors...

1. It is a good idea to learn how to paint before painting a Mona Lisa

2. When your painting is going wrong it is good to return to first principles

Occasionally, there are lucky people who don't have any problems. They pick up a box of paints and a brush and easily paint their first watercolor painting. The minority of people who don't struggle with painting are fortunate indeed.

On the other hand, most of us aren't blessed with such talents...

* Learning to paint watercolors is hard

* Painting watercolor pictures can seem impossible

It is easy to find that every brush mark you make turns into a mess. It is far too easy to create a nightmare of badly mixed colors. You'll find color washes flooding the wrong areas of your painting.

Soon your grand art ideas can be transformed into a horrible muddy mess. You are lost, unless you understand how watercolor paints flow across your paper...

* You should look at how color goes where water takes it

* It is a good thing to know that you will wreck a color wash that isn't fully dried by applying the next wash too soon

* It is a great idea to learn how to get a range of different color intensities and tone from a single color before adding another color to the mix

There is great sense in the old saying... "Don't run before you can walk"

Watercolor painting can quickly convince you that you have no artistic talent. It can make you look like you have no painting skills. It is a shame to become disheartened when your watercolors go wrong.

Which alternative would you choose?

"Frustration and disappointment from failure... or a fundamental knowledge of how simple and easy watercolor painting really works?"
