Getting back into transparent watercolor after working mostly in gouache for the past 8 or 9 months. With the gouache I learned that even though it’s opaque, and thus you can fix mistakes by overpainting, it’s better to be very direct and confident, and try to get it right the first time. It keeps the painting looking fresh. So I’m trying to apply that to my transparent paints here – keep it down to a few washes and little touches, rather than a lot of noodling.
