In this episode I cover 6 topics which look at common beginner mistakes that hinder them from mixing correct tones and colors. I also cover my basic technique to help you start with the correct tones and colors to minimise later adjustments. This is my 14th video in my beginner watercolor painting series.

If you are a beginner, and this is the first of my videos in this series you are watching, then I highly recommend that you go back and begin at Watercolor Class One and do the exercises in each. These exercises are what I used to put my beginner face-to-face students through, before allowing them to progress to more advanced subjects. Even now, before a student, new to watercolor, can join my online class they have to first prove they have studied and applied this beginner lessons. In this way, new students are able to more easily join my more advanced classes.
I also have a couple of watercolor painting books which I published and distribute through Amazon.
The first one, which has sold over 10,000 copies is bascially my teaching manual and is titled:
Mastering Watercolors - A Practical Guide.
The second is full of step by step demonstrations and is titled: Watercolor Step By Step: amzn.to/3z4YXEu
Both books are available in kindle format and paperback.
You can also find a lot of useful information on my website: www.paintingwithwatercolors.com/

Thanks again Joe, great lesson. I have a couple of mistakes to work on - amount of water and or amount of paint be the main ones and getting an extra brush or two will definitely help. Really enjoying these lessons and have learned so much, Thanks again I personally really appreciate your time and effort that you put into these classes :)

I don’t have these issues…one of the first classes I took was told to mix paint to certain consistencies to get what I want…like the consistency of face cream for example or as you say house paint…these a great visuals and really help us beginners

Review of the basics is always good. I have often said that one of the biggest boosts to my work what when I started teaching watercolour. The reason for this is that I have to go over the basics with each new student or class. :-)

@@JoeCartwright see one do one teach one…I tell my piano students this and give them an assignment at least once to teach their parents something they like to do so they have the experience…Agee 100% and I’m loving your classes…I did go ahead and do lesson eleven because I had questions about that subject and I learned so much!!! Bravo!!! 👏

Excellent information, Joe! The only other thing I struggle with is mixing two or more colors and the cleaning of the brush before pulling out the next color. How much water is left in the brush? Don't grab any new water and have dirty palette wells, etc. It is second nature to you but we don't get it. A quick three minute video would answer our questions. By the way, I have two of your watercolor books in my Kindle library!

Do you ever use watercolour grounds on other surfaces? If so, are you happy with the surface for watercolour purposes?

I only use it on watercolor paper. Though I did experiment with Yuppo plastic printable paper - gives a brighter but less controlled effect.
