Watercolor Techniques

[alejoytoy]

First off, take some time to explore (and bookmark!) this and other watercolor and artist's sites to understand the tools, history, theory and variety of styles and techniques of other artists. Once you have the basic idea of what's involved in being a watercolorist you're ready to give it a go.

You don't have to know how to draw really well to start to make art. That comes with much practice. But all of the beautiful techniques used in creating a watercolor painting can be learned, more or less like any trade that involves a certain set of skills.

Each piece of art you make will gradually lead you to your own unique expression and style. It can be marketable, if not satisfying, if your painting skills can allow you to evoke an emotional response from your viewers and patrons. I'd shoot for a good response.
The tutorials and lessons found on the site will get you started and perhaps inspire you, as a watercolor painter. We can supply lessons on the craft and skills, but purpose is what is driving you to want to try to create art. What that vision is, is unique for everyone. The footsteps of the path that lies before you are yours to follow until you can find your own path.
