Controlling Wet on Wet Watercolor

Wet on wet usage of watercolor is one of the reasons many artists prefer not to use these medium. If not handled right the edges will be lost or if allowed to dry will get hard edges not to mention the backwashes. This is the way to control wet on wet and achieve nice diffused edges that will still hold the silhouette of your image.

Step 1. Wet the area thoroughly.
Step 2. Lay the paper flat and wait 5 minutes.
Step 3. Load your brush with pigment. With a damp cloth, suck out the excess water where the bristles meet the metal part of the brush.
