I got a ton of watercolors for my birthday, so I suppose I need to use them. XD
I hate watercolors, and have never been good with them so this will be an experience. If anyone has any tips, lay em on me!
I'll post pictures as I go along... maybe something pretty will come of it. rofl

The biggest difference between acrylic, oils and watercolor is the thickness (and by proxy the consistency) of the paints. Watercolor is obviously thin, and you need to add just a touch of color to what is otherwise a large amount of water.
Start with backgrounds first, and branch out from spots where you want more color. For example, a is your start point and b is farther out.
a>>>>>b
a>>>b
a>b
At least, that's what I've learned from some professors and artist shows. Fun things to try is to let it dry and go back over with white chalk as if you're "erasing" parts of the watercolor. Tape is your friend, as it can be with any paints.
Also they look great so far, just remember to lay it on much thinner, wash out the brush, and brush it outwards. It's almost like the less paint that stays on the bristles, the better. :3

I hate light colors and being light with paint. >.> Why water colors have never been my friend lol i feel this crying I'm too heavy-handed for water colors. I'm definitely better with acrylics. I think one of the real problems- for my anyway- and what makes water colors kind of intimidating is the lack of control. like, it's more water than paint- runny, as opposed to acrylic paint, which is thick. I suggest maybe looking into watercolor tutorials (i suggest tutorials for everything, honestly. lol) to get some idea and feel for working with watercolor paint. i can't wait to see what you do.
