Hi there, I hope you are doing great! Today we’ll talk about how to fix your painting when you messed something up (:
Here’s the full video, scroll down to read more.
Many Painting Mistakes Can be Fixed
People (myself included) make the assumption that in watercolor nothing is reversible. This is false.
Many, if not all mistakes can be corrected.
Only some types of mistakes can’t be corrected. These usually involve dropping dark paint in large quantities in an area that’s supposed to be light.
However, paint can be lifted. Brushwork can be improved. Things can be darkened and so on.
The Ugly Stage of a Painting
This is something worth mentioning. Most paintings, no matter the medium (oils, acrylics or watercolor) tend to go through an ugly / incomplete stage.
It may lead you to believe you are messing up, when in fact you are just early in the process.
I’d encourage you to NEVER give up on a painting. The it’s far likelier you’ll give up too soon than too late. So give it a chance!
Conclusion
I hope you enjoyed the video and vibed with the message.
Let me know if this helped!
And I’ll talk to you again really soon.
