Molly, there are two basic ways to paint with watercolors. Wet into wet and wet into dry. Wet into wet will give more random blends of color. Wet in dry is more controlled. You might want to join our art community, lots of good learning going on there. Go to our website and look in the menu bar for community. Its a great community with hundreds of artists interacting and sharing tips for painting.

Hi, I'm new to watercoloring. My problem is drawing the inital painting. I'm not very good at drawing. I would like to know why you just didn't paint onto dry paper with a very wet brush? I am still trying to learn the difference. Do you paint wet into wet first, and then let it all dry, and then go back over it with the brush loaded with color? I am never sure if I am supposed to re-wet a painted area to add more color, or to just load my brush and go from there. Thanks. ~Molly
