By Carmella Watts


It is certainly a good idea for people to use abstract watercolor painting as a source of income. A lot of beginners actually get their talent known to the world because of this. However, they need to get some practice done before they can actually show off. Here are a few of the beginner's tips they have to follow to create a masterpiece.

The colors will not be the same as the person first saw it when the paint dries up on the canvas. When the paint is wet, it is a shade darker and toner. On the other hand, the shade is lighter and toner if the paint is dry. More practice and experience is required to address this kind of issue with the colors.

This is also the kind of paint that the person should expect to dry faster compared to the normal paint. Most of the paint these days require a 24 hour period before it can be dried completely. However, this is the kind of paint that the person does not have to wait long for before it dries completely.

Know that even if the paint is already dry, it will still remain soluble. If the person re-wets the dried up paint, it will immediately turn back into paint. This means that the person should be able to easily fix any mistakes made on the canvas. The color can be easily lifted off the canvas just by lightening the color.

Of course, making mistakes should be lessened though. This is because the said paint is still transparent. This basically means that even if the person uses layer and layer of new paint the mistakes one did underneath will still be seen. It is almost impossible to hide it no matter what the person does.

Work in an organize manner. It is highly recommended that when the person is applying the paint one should start with the lighter colors first. After that, the person must then progressively use the darker colors for the said canvas. This way, the person can easily build up the colors, shades, and tones for the said canvas.

The brush has to be appropriate as well. There is no need to buy dozens and dozens of brushes. There is also no need to buy different types of brushes. What the person needs right now is that kind of brush which exudes quality. Even if it is just a single brush, it is better than having lots of brushes with no quality to speak of.

Adding too much water on the paint will surely ruin its shade and tone. This is a basic mistake that even beginners should avoid. Lots of people forget that the wet brush might also add more water to the paint. In order to avoid this, dab the wet brush first on a dry cloth to eliminate excess water at the tip.

There are those mistakes that are unavoidable. Since this is the case, be sure to know more about the masking techniques for the mistakes made on the abstract watercolor painting. This way, the person can still correct the mistakes made on the said canvas.
