Explore all the techniques here. Below is a list of a few.

1. Wet-on-Wet Technique

Begin by wetting your paper with clean water. Then, apply your chosen watercolor paint onto the moist surface. This method allows colors to flow and blend seamlessly, creating soft, dreamy effects. It's perfect for painting skies, landscapes, or abstract designs.

2. Dry Brush Technique

Dip your brush into paint with minimal water. When you apply it to dry paper, you'll achieve rough, textured strokes. This technique is ideal for adding details like grass, hair, or any element that benefits from a textured appearance.

3. Splattering

For a fun and dynamic effect, load your brush with paint and flick it onto your paper. This creates random splatters that can add energy and movement to your piece. It's great for depicting stars, sand, or abstract patterns.

By incorporating these techniques, you'll notice:

• Enhanced Textures: Adding depth and interest to your paintings.

• Dynamic Effects: Making your artwork more lively and engaging.

• Versatility: Allowing you to experiment and find your unique style.
