Today, I show you my favorite wet-into-wet practice technique. This practice covers some important skills such as: watercolor timing, values, and brushwork.
It also creates a beautiful mono-chrome sky. The more time we spend practicing these fundamentals the stronger our paintings will be.
Enjoy!

What I have found is that you can use staining and non staining paints to your advantage. For example, if you use a graded wash with staining colors like a warm yellow on the background and wait for it to dry, then you can re-wet the page without reactivating the stained color. Then you can incorporate more wet onto wet clouds etc over the initial wash.

Matt, can you take your viewers step by step through a series of a few videos of creating a painting using your 5 ways? It would be so super to start with you from the beginning and learning to mix a couple of basic colors all the way to the finished painting.

Since this is my first time here, hello from Canada 🇨🇦. I like using wet-on-wet on backgrounds. I only wet one side of the paper, and will use masking tape on the sides to prevent buckling. I've used watercolors for the past 4 years or so. I still have to think about paint-to-water ratios before I start painting. PS I also have a problem with overworking my paintings. Will watch the video you linked to.

Thanks! Just what I needed. I tried using wet into wet sky using blue, red and yellow. Not that successful. I'll try this monochromatic sky next.

Hi, Matt. Been watching some of your videos lately. I wanted to try pre wetting my paper on both sides but do you think the quality of the paper is also important to achieve the same effects? I'm currently using a student grade paper and I wonder if it will work. Hehe Thank you and love your videos btw.❤

@learntopaintwatercolor 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Delilah, glad you are enjoying the videos! Quality paper really does make a difference. I recommend 100% cotton paper if you can.

Hi Matt. Thanks for the video. If I don't finish the painting, can the paper be pre wet again the next day?

Yes, just be very gentle so you don't lift any paint off.

That's a nice video and recommendations.Thank you. But it would me much more useful and aesthetically pleasing if you didn't use sped up recording. Unnatural jerky brush movements just defeat your good point about learning to control brush strokes.
