Would you like to know how to improve your watercolor skills to a level that surpasses 99% of beginners?

The answer is actually pretty simple… All you have to do is to understand the rules!

These rules are what I refer to as “The golden rules of watercolor”.

So in this lesson I want to share with you my “golden rules” that have helped me transform my watercolor art over the years. And you’ll see just how surprisingly easy it can be to make a big difference in your watercolors once you understand and apply these principles.

I have another rule - don’t save on cheap paper. It’s crucial for beginners like me😅

[StAllynara]

This video just came across my feed and after watching this and several of your other videos I've subscribed. I've been painting with watercolors for a while now. While I've had Paynes Gray on my home palette (not my plein air palette) and I rarely used it. I do mix my own grays and blacks but recently I've been using Paynes Gray more by adding either a warm or cool other color to it to get the gray or black that I'm looking for. Because of this I went ahead and added Paynes Gray to my Plein Air palette a couple weeks ago. This has sped up my time in getting the color I want without having to mix and remix (and crossing fingers that with each mix I get the same color) in a tiny tray. My suggestion for others is use black or gray, just add a warm or cool color to it to get the warm or cool black or gray you are looking for.

Thank you so much for the clear concise information. Your video really clarifys the confusing array of information so many artists talk about!

[mipilipi]

I'm actually surprised all of these came to me intuitively. I love watercolours and thank you for summing up the rules so well!

[mulekicker]

Very informative, nicely formatted and produced. Succinct and to the point in a sporty time span without the clock burning chatter is the way to effectively teach tips and techniques of interest.

[BlueLotusLife]

So helpful and succinct! (Wish it was actually that easy! LOL)

[canarieswithkaren]

Great video, things I should have learned many years ago! Any chance you could do a whole video on glazing?

[tthappyrock]

Good rules to be reminded of even when you aren't a beginner! Great demonstration of how glazing affects the results achieved differently than merely mixing colors! A couple of the artists that I've followed for years explain that white is seldom just white and black is seldom just black. While black was included in my first watercolor palate, I don't think I have ever used it. I have Payne's gray and neutral tint which prove very useful--I love the blueish cast my Payne's gray has! I also have Mars black in my granulating palate because of the effects it has on some of the other granulating colors.

Hi! I saw your beautiful Brushes and ask myself which Brand/type/Model you are using! I would be happy If i‘ll get an answer 😊😊😊❤

[SheriMiller-lwxu]

What is the name of the utensil you were using to apply the masking fluid? I noticed it at the first of the video when you were selecting your brushes and then when in use. Where can you get one of these?

[Alignedwithmyself]

You're British. It's perfectly fine to use British spelling (colour) in your titles. The algorithm doesn't care.

[SuzetteSantori]

Video is more like 10 rules or 10 tips for successful watercolor painting. They arenquite obvious to anyone who has been painting for awhile, but good basic info. It is NOT however how tonpaint better than 99% of artists. Since literally all watercolor artists use (and must use)these rules. Its for everyone, not the 1 %. Silly. That title is clickbsit i guess?

[evelyne]

Here are the unbreakable rules. Now go out there and break them. HaHaHa……Cute
