Painting with Carol

If you have not painted with watercolours before it can be a bit daunting - so much has been written about “what not to do”. My aim is to make watercolours simple, (to take the mystery out of it all). I think that if your first painting is a success, you will certainly want to continue painting.

Choose a simple subject, a single flower such as a daisy from your garden is perfect. If you are unable to sketch, take a photo and have it enlarged, then trace it. I will discuss the various types of watercolour paper to use and how to transfer the subject to the paper in an upcoming post.

Have fun, that is what painting is all about!
