PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BRUSHES

When you start with watercolor, you may feel that you need a large assortment of brushes. This isn't true.

Certain types of brushes will give you different results. To start, you'll want to have the following brushes: a spotter brush, round brush, flat brush, mop brush, liner brush, and a fan brush.

If you own these seven types of brushes, you'll be off to a good start.

START LIGHT THEN GO DARK

When you watercolor, you'll want to start with light colors and work your way towards the darker shades.

It would be best if you did this because once you apply the dark colors, it's more difficult to undo any errors.
