There is an endless stream of creativity in an artist (you). If a work is a “learner”, then rejoice, learn, and begin the next one.
Don’t always clean out your brush. That bit that’s left when you just wipe it off can make your next color relate to the painting.better.
The brush is a dancer on your canvas. Choreograph your action, using different moves that are natural. Don’t let it become a pogo stick.
Water colorists need 3 water jars. 1 for cleaning paint from brushes. 2 for rinsing after, and 3: clean water for making the colors.
The more you paint, the more you see with a painter’s vision. The more you see, the more you want to paint. It’s a delicious cycle.
