Watercolor Painting Supplies
What do I need?
To start painting with watercolor you will obviously need to purchase painting supplies. You should purchase the best possible materials that you can afford. We all want to save as much money as possible, but if you work with cheap materials, you are not going to be happy with the end result, especially if you spend days or even months on a particular painting. This does not mean you should spend hundreds of dollars on the top of the line supplies right away. Start off buying a small amount of descent quality supplies until you become more experienced. You can then try out better supplies. Below is an excellent beginners watercolor kit from Winsor & Newton, a respected brand amongst watercolor artists.

Recommended Watercolor Palette
You may already have your own preference for watercolors, if you don't, or if you are feeling adventurous, you may want to give the following palette of colors a try. The following colors are considered to be wonderful in terms of purity and pigment strength. They also work quite nicely when mixing together.
Cadmium Red
Cadmium Red has good permanence. You won't need to use a lot of this color. Just a little of this pigment can go a long way.
Permanent Rose
Permanent Rose is a more modern color and is sometimes used to replace the less permanent Rose Madder.
Cadmium Yellow
Cadmium Yellow is a bright color with a high tinting strength.
Cadmium Lemon
Cadmium lemon is a bit paler than Cadmium Yellow but is equal in
permanence.
Winsor Green
Winsor Green has good permanence and mixes quite well with Burnt
Sienna.
Winsor Blue
Winsor Blue has very good permanence and has become more popular widely replacing Prussian Blue.
French Ultramarine
French Ultramarine also has good permanence and gives your washes a very rich deep tone.

Burnt Sienna is a very nice earthy tone with good transparency.

Watercolor Brushwork Lesson By Steve Fleming
Although it is sometimes not what we notice first about a great watercolor painting, expressive brushwork is one of the most important qualities of a good work. Due to the fact that watercolor is fairly hard to remove from the paper and is somewhat less workable than oils, pastels, graphite and to some extent acrylics through the use of overlaying opaque colors on top, it is critical that you begin and end the painting with solid and creative brushwork. It will be very difficult to correct sloppy and repetitive brushwork in those major areas of the painting. Think of the trees you have painted with brushwork that evoke the look of a broom, not an elm, or the water youpainted that has the feeling of a parking lot, not a tranquil pond or the light on the side of a model's face that looks like an advertisement for a beard commercial and you will understand that your freedom with the brush is a critical factor is expressing your creative intent....

How To Paint a Rose In Watercolor
By Doris Joa
The Star of this painting and Demonstration will be the Rose painting "Open Arms".It is a beautiful climbing rose, which I bought new this year for my garden and I was lucky to see a lot of blooms. I love the colors in this rose and I am looking forward to painting this rose. Since I need time for doing a rose painting, I cannot paint from life, no rose would live such a long time. Another reason is that I have two small kids, so I usually only have time to paint in the evening when they are sleeping - so I work from photos. Since this rose is in my own garden, I had enough time to really observe it and understand more about the colors.
I work only from my own reference photos.
I used a digital camera, Olympus C -750 Ultra Zoom to take the photos in this demo. It's a great camera. I am able to see the details on the wings of a bee. I can zoom up to 40 times.

Watercolor Painting Tips - Creating Textures in Watercolor by Beth Mcrorie
Texture in watercolor can add both depth and drama..and they are fun, too!The textures shown here are all done in prussian blue. If you are going to use one of these texture, practice first on a small scrap of paper. Different colors will react differently to the techniques. Try experimenting with laying several colors together.

- Excellent resource. Water color is one of the many mediums I like to experiment with, though lately I've been using more acrylic. Whenever my wife and I go camping, though, I always take along a small watercolor set for some evening art around the campfire.

Introduction To Watercolor Painting Techniques
This article will provide you with a general understanding of some of the more basic watercolor painting techniques.
Flat Wash Watercolor Technique
The flat wash technique is one of the more basic and common of the various techniques. The flat wash technique is usually used when large areas of the canvas need to be covered. You will want to lay out the watercolor wash evenly and uniformly. First you will need to dampen the area of your canvas where you will be applying the watercolor wash. Make certain to have an adequate amount of water and pigment available before your start. If you should have to stop for any reason, it will be difficult to match your layers. It is better to have more than less available. The angle at which you apply the watercolor wash is important. If the angle is too steep your wash will run down the paper. If the angle is too level, then you won't have enough movement. Use a large brush for this technique and start your first stroke at the top of the paper. Continue applying the watercolor wash going down the paper, but alternate sides as you move down.
Glazing Watercolor Technique
The glazing technique is when you apply a thin transparent color over a completed dry layer of color. This technique creates some very interesting blends of new color. You will need to use a non-staining, transparent color for this watercolor technique. You should use a soft brush and don't apply that much pressure.
Wet In Wet Watercolor Technique
Wet in wet is simply applying a wet wash over a wet surface. You start by evenly wetting the paper with a brush or spray bottle. Have a sponge handy to absorb any excess water. You want your paper to be evenly saturated. Then apply your watercolor.
Dry Brush Watercolor Technique
With the dry brush technique, your paper is completely dry. You then apply a fairly dry pigment with very little water to the paper.
The dry brush technique should only be used where you want to draw focus or create texture in your painting. It's always a good idea to use various watercolor brush techniques in a single painting. This results in a more interesting painting.
Lifting Off Watercolor Technique
Artists use this technique when they want to remove watercolor from a certain area of the panting. It is usually done by first wetting the area that needs to be removed with a clean sponge and then absorbing the color with a tissue. If you find that the color does not come off right away, then let the water soak in a bit longer and try again. If you still are unable to remove the color, then dampen a bristle brush and gently scrub the area. You should use extreme care with this watercolor technique, as there is a risk you can damage the paper.
I hope this article on watercolor techniques has helped. Happy Painting!

How To Paint a Watercolor Painting by Donna Ridgway
Naturally, you'll start with the white of the paper. From there, I take a color I'll be using in the painting and begin to draw my image. In this instance, I'm using a mat board that's been coated with gesso. I like this surface because the watercolor is so easily erased if a mistake is made. At this point, I've chosen to do a complimentary color scheme, yellow and blue....Click here to read more of this free watercolor lesson...

Watercolor Painting Tip
What Should I Paint?
Many painters often struggle with this question. If you find yourself feeling uninspired or confused about what to paint, simply remember what subject in life that you feel an emotional or deep connection with. When you have this type of connection to a subject, your painting will reflect that passion and you will not lose interest.
You can develop great ideas for subjects in a variety of different ways. If you are a lover of the outdoors and nature, simply taking a trip with a camera can do wonders. If you love animals, you could take a trip to the zoo and snap off some shots or head to an aquarium and do the same. Take your photos back to your studio and find the most desirable subject for your painting.
I wish you the best of luck with your watercolor painting. If you become frustrated or discouraged remember that every artist has been there. The key is to never give up.

Tips For Painting Landscapes In Watercolor
One of the biggest challenges beginners face with any type of art, is the ability to really connect with the creativity that is inside of them. It's difficult in the beginning to just let go and paint from your heart and soul. Your mind is being filled with techniques and systems for approaching painting, that may inhibit your creativity. Don't get me wrong, painting techniques are essential to learning, but there should be a point where you begin to draw from your own creative imagination.
When painting a subject, whether it be a person, landscape, wildlife, etc., it is important that you first carefully study and observe your subject. You need to get intimate and personal with the subject you are painting. If you want to learn how to paint great landscapes, then you should spend time in and around the area that inspires you to paint. Only then can you really get a sense of what it is you are seeing, and how to re-create that scene on paper.
Before you even touch the paint though, head down to your location with only paper and pencils. One of the best ways to become closer to the scene you are painting, is to spend time there doing sketches. This will really force you to observe what you see and burn the image and the environment into your senses. You will be amazed at how much you learn about a scene by simply doing a few drawings.
Painting on location can be rather challenging, especially when just starting out. As the day progresses and the sun changes location in the sky, the scene you are painting can change dramatically. There are certain techniques in watercolor that require the paper to be at certain angles, or the paper needs to be saturated to a certain degree, etc. To get everything right within such a short time span is difficult. If you feel you will not be able to capture the scene with paint, bring a camera with you. In the beginning you should probably choose compositions that are not overly detailed or complex. Once you find a composition that you like, take a bunch of pictures at different distances and angles. When you get back to your studio you will now have some great reference photos as well as the drawings you created.
Another great way to immerse yourself in watercolor landscape painting is to find artists who share the same interest. Search online for any groups or websites for landscape painters in your area. Start chatting and get to know everyone. Many of the artists in these groups love to connect with other artists and plan painting trips. This is a great way to gain experience.
When painting on location you don't need to bring an entire studio worth of supplies. Some artists make the mistake of bringing far too many supplies with them, which becomes more of a nuisance than anything else. Only bring the colors and supplies that you really need to work on a particular scene.
Remember, things change very quickly outdoors. Lighting conditions and weather can change in a matter of minutes. You must be able to paint quickly without being too sloppy. Block in all of your large areas first then go back and start adding your details. Many landscape artists usually block in the sky area first. The sky is generally paler than the rest of the painting, which enables you to work from light to dark. The sky area also influences the way you paint the rest of the objects in your painting.
When painting objects in the foreground that require a lot of detail, do not try and paint every single leaf or blade of grass that you see. This will create too much detail and will draw focus away from the center of interest in your painting. It also consumes too much of your valuable time. Besides, a painting is not meant to be an exact replica of what you see, rather your unique impression of the scene. If you want exact details, you are better off taking a photograph.
Don't be afraid to use your imagination. If you are painting a scene and feel that you should add a few trees here, or a bush there, or a bird on a branch, then by all means go for it.
If you find one particular location appealing, and have already painted there once before, don't hesitate to go back and paint it again, only this time go out on a cloudy day instead. You will be surprised how different a scene can look when the weather changes.
