It is always good to cover the process you use to choose your colors and apply your washes.

H. E.

I can only choose on option? But all are good 😄. Also adding water, mixing, correcting, removing color. How to keep the loose feeling. Where to put color and where not.

H. E.

Works better with a browser, now I could choose several.

I have voted for 4 but I’m happy to learn them all. Seems basic but so important to me ☺️

I voted for them all Scottie. I use the exact same make of water colors that you use but can’t seem to get the colors to match like your in videos. I’m either too dark or too light. One thing I would like to see you add is what is the best way to correct a mistake with your watercolor.

Russ Sansom

ideas about skin color / color combinations has to come from experience; that is, trial and error. "Studying" books, tutorials, and videos might plant an idea, but if you can give us your experience and your reasons for your choices it will help me. re: values. I struggle with the order of operation to lay in 3 or 4 values ( say, to model a cylinder ) light first? Dark first? Mechanically, how to do it. I've bungled several drawings with harsh borders between values. Thanks, scottie

Which is better pan or from the tube watercolor? seems like tube is stronger hard to get lighter, even if you add a lot of water
