Last summer I started to use watercolor again. It is a medium that I never really considered until a couple years ago.
The watercolor must be planned, unlike oils there isn't a lot of forgiveness. One splash too many and the game is over.
Personally I love the fresh splashy look of watercolor. I find it a constant challenge. The handling of water consistency and the transparency of the medium is what draws me to watercolor.

The paper has a lot to do with the feeling of the painting. Some watercolor papers are rough and some are smooth. I have explored many different types and like them all.
Watercolor has many techniques involved. Water washes create transparent light washes. If you want more saturated or darker washes you need to have plenty of pigment in your brew!

Organizing your big lights and darks is a must along withs handling of the middle notes .
There is a spontaneity and freshness that watercolor gives. However understanding the essentials of watercolor techniques is key.
