• can absorb all the extra water that goes in
  watercolors and they do not get spoilt. A good
  quality water coloring pad or a bundle of sheets
  can be of great help.
• Figure out the Hues in Advance- As an artist, you
  know how difficult it is to make an artwork that
  shows harmony, unity, and coherence. But to
  achieve all these aspects, what is important is
  the selection of colors in advance. Thus try and
  keep your color palette minimal with the least
  hues on your palette, so that while you start
  coloring you dont get overwhelmed.
• Draw with a Light Hand- Watercolors are
  transparent and thin, which implies that if you
  draw with a dark pencil you might be left with
  traces of it. Thus, draw the rough sketch with
  very light hands and the least visible pencil.
  You will see how after filling it with colors
  you will get a fascinating result.
• Define the Whites- Planning is important in every
  aspect of life, and painting is not an
  exclusion. Thus, while you plan to paint a
  certain portrait or landscape, make sure you
  plan that where all the colors would go and which
  space would be untouched. This planning will
  help you save that white part of the sketch from
  getting stained with any other color.
• Start Light and Transparent Dips- The beauty of
  watercolor paint can only be seen while we layer
  tons of shades onto one another. And to attain
  that supremacy and finesse, always start with
  the lightest shade of the color dip. This will
  also make the base for colors, that youll apply
  afterward and will give a mesmerizing space.
• As a beginner, all these tips if considered would
  result in a great painting experience, that will
  automatically lead to a delightful painting
  journey. So, note 'em all!
