Thank you! I usually paint 3 versions before I am halfway satisfied with a painting. I appreciate your experience and generosity in sharing it with us.

Thank you so much for your easy-to-understand instructions for avoiding and correcting mistakes! I’ve been painting portraits for many years but watercolors always seemed too intimidating to pursue. Can’t wait to dive back into a portrait I thought was ruined.

In reply to Clare Vinay. Hi Clare. Overworking is one of those things we all go through when learning watercolors. I remember this happening to me several times !

Thanks for sharing such pertinent information! I’ve taken many watercolor classes and non of these issues were addressed. I’ve had to learn the hard way with ruined paintings and much frustration. Your visual examples also help with understanding the problem. I look forward to more
tips and techniques!

This is the second of your articles I have read. You are absolutely amazing. The work you put into these articles, well, I just can’t imagine. All I can say is thank you. I have come away with some very useful tips. Your style of writing is easily understood. I have learned about mistakes I didn’t realize I was making so I kept making the same mistakes over and over again. Now, I will stop making the mistakes in the first place, so I don’t have to worry about correcting them. Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
