What Truly Matters in Watercolor Painting

In watercolor painting, your art supplies don’t matter.

The type of brush you use doesn’t matter. Your palette doesn’t matter. Your paper doesn’t matter. Having a proper studio doesn’t matter.

What specific color brand you use doesn’t matter. The pigments you use don’t matter. What colors you choose to mix doesn’t matter.

The technique you use for mixing them doesn’t matter. Whether you use wet-in-wet or wet on dry doesn’t matter. Whether you let the paint dry or keep going doesn’t matter.

Whether you decide to draw or not doesn’t matter. Whether you complete a painting in one sitting or in a 100 doesn’t matter.

The teachers you learn from don’t matter. The artists you follow don’t matter. Learning and practicing doesn’t matter. Painting plein-air doesn’t matter. Painting every day doesn’t matter.

Having a plan or going in blind doesn’t matter.

Whether you’re confident or hesitent doesn’t matter.

The only thing that matters is you, and the moment your brush meets the paper.
