Painting wet-in-wet watercolor looks very simple at the first trial, but you discover that the pigments and the water are uncontrollable!!! But practice will prevail at the end.The response of color applications in watercolor painting is amazing, it has always fascinated me, and especially the Wet-in-wet watercolor technique I think its more “picturesque” than painting on dry.
One of my old works done applying wet on wet lavis of watercolors, one of the things I really love to learn is how to control the water smudges of watercolors created by the wet on wet watercolor application, but I think its by time and experience.

When ever i do my sumi-e, I'm surprised how many pieces I ruin due to my impatience. I think water born art is very hard to predict - takes years to begin to get to the starting line. DouDy -I think you have arrived. Can we see more?
Thanx Bill for your supportive comments...so how did you find the tips on the post...is it good content? well these are my personal tips not general rules...I am just afraid that Pros could tell me this is not applicable..
Hi Doudy. I really enjoy this painting: the brilliant col.or and the animated character of the flowers. Bravo to you for trying wet-in-wet; it's hard to really do it, to let it be wet! And thanks for your "blog of the day" recommendation: it's a great idea!
Your tip #1 makes a good point--too much water lead to diappointing results; in wet-on-wet, the very few times I've tried it, I've found it necessary to use more paint than I'm accustomed to using, to keep it from all diffusing into the water and being too weak. Though that wasn't a problem for you here I see! ;-)
yes Laura, you are absolutely right, controlling the water is the most important thing, and also the most difficult thing...and it usually involves more paint!!
Actually every time I decide to paint wet on wet watrcolors...I take a long time deciding and encouraging myself to do it...
Doudy, all your recent pieces are great. I really like these flowers.

thanx Sandy, I really enjoy working wet into wet watercolors its very scary and hard but fun....
Doudy, this painting rocks. Love the vivid colors. What marvelous energy. Very joyous. Great link by the way. I really got into the brush handling tutorials. I'm not a watercolorist, but I do like working with ink so I really enjoyed it.
Your tips are good. Your blog keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work!
This is vivid and pretty , I would have thought a girl painting it.I did a bit of watercolour but to be honest.. i am simply not a painte and I have to admit that.
