I really enjoyed learning about the wash techniques and picked up a lot of tips that I didn’t know.

Hi Audrey
I think it’s possible with most internet navigators to view the article in “reader mode”. For example on a Mac you look for “view / show reader” in the menu.
You could then print it or download it as a PDF…
Hope that helps 🙂

I love this lesson on washes and would like a hard copy. I am a subscriber. Is there some way I can copy it without all the ads.?

Wow! This has all the detail I was needing in order to understand washes. Thank you so, so much.

I can’t thank you enough. Clear, concise advice with pictures to demonstrate. Artists terms clearly and simply described. I have tried to follow other “teachers” but have quite honestly lost the will to live. I will practice both methods to master the skill needed. Watercolour is my absolute favourite for paintings, I love the fragile translucency of the paint, but BOY do I now appriciate the skill of the artwork on my walls. I look forward to my next lesson. Thanks again

Hi Rosemary
Sounds like you’re painting a variegated wash background. A wet-on-wet techniqe works wonderfully for this…

I noticed as a beginner that I can do a flat wash by starting at the bottom of the paper after wetting it with no puddles and draw the paint upwards and get a perfect flat wash effect. No blotches or puddles or streaks of any kind. The paper is angled at 30 degrees, and it is drying beautifully. I have been drowning the paper in water and it seems the LESS I use the better the result in my flat washes. I am so glad I found your site … Thanks!
