Free Watercolor Painting Information, Techniques and Tips     Painting Technique - Always get the paper as wet as you can before you begin applying watercolor paints. Depending on your environment you may only have 7 minutes before the paper starts to dry.      Painting Technique  - Don't dilute your paint to the point of liquid.  For painting the beach, the foreground trees and bushes you want your paint to be like toothpaste. This will give you a little more control over the wet in wet process also.      Painting Technique  - Paint from wet to dry, from large shapes to small shapes, and from light values to dark values. All this is done while the painting is drying in the first 7 minutes and also as you apply additional watercolor washes or details.      Painting Technique - Use larger brushes such as 3 inch, 2 inch and 1 1/2 inch flat brushes.      Painting Technique - Don't try applying the paint uniformly as this is not always pleasing to the viewer.  Instead add some variety in your brush strokes, the paint mixture, the size of shapes, the value of shapes, the number of shapes.  "Variety is the spice of everything nice" Roy John Fuller 2001.      Painting Technique  - Apply paint with your brush quickly.  Don't stay in one spot going back and forth, move around the paper in light, sweeping strokes and changing your direction continuously. It's the variety in your brush strokes you want to focus on.  Always use variety in you painting from the design to the completion. Always paint trees different heights, width, texture, values and colors. The same goes for rocks, mountains, people, clouds and everything else.      Painting Technique  I always do best when I paint on a slight angle.  You can experiment slanting your board upward off a flat table by placing a book, etc. under the outside edge.  I usually paint with my backboard in the vertical position so my students can see better.

    Roy John Fuller's technique involves wetting the entire watercolor paper completely before applying any watercolor paints. Then applying watercolor paint quickly with the minimum number of  brush strokes. The paper dries in 14 minutes so you have to work fast. Another 30 minutes to work on some details and the watercolor painting is finished.  Roy studied and practiced paintings by Famous TV Artist Bob Ross's techniques for several years.  He attended several workshops and purchased many of his art instruction books, cd's and DVD's.  Roy says he has probably watched every television painting episode of Bob Ross several times.
