PURCHASE QUALITY TOOLS

As a watercolor artist, having the right tools can make a big difference in your work.

Using quality tools and materials is a great way to ensure that your finished work has the best possible results.

You don't have to spend a ton of money either. You can purchase quality paper, brushes, and paints at a reasonable price.

I've listed some of my favorite watercolor tools above.

USE WATERCOLOR PAPER

Whenever you watercolor, it's important to use watercolor paper. Watercolor paper is heavier and is good at properly absorbing moisture. It will not tear or pill.

Here's another classic American style home that would be fun to paint. I love how they added trees behind the house.

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.

If you're looking for a unique drawing style, I love the picture in the middle that has flowers and trees bordering the house.

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.

There's much detail in this painting, I absolutely love it. This painting would be suitable for the advanced artist.

MIXING YOUR PAINT

When mixing paint, it's good to mix more paint than you think you'll need. That's because if you run out of the color, it won't be easy to get the exact shade that you were using previously.

I find this drawing to be so creative and unique. What a beautiful art style that would also make a great gift.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PAPER TOWELS

As you are working on your paintings, you'll find that it's beneficial to have paper towels on hand.

You can use them to clean and dab your brush. You can also use paper towels to dab your paper while you work.

The color combinations used in this painting look so beautiful together. This reminds me of a house that you would see in a sunny environment like Florida.

USE MASKING TAPE

If you want clean edges on your project, use masking tape to frame your painting.

It's essential to make sure you have a tight seal on the tape so that paint doesn't get through and ruin your clean edge.

Here's a perfect example of using your house or a family members home as a reference for your painting.
