BASIC WATERCOLOUR TECHNIQUES
While there are many techniques, here are the 3 main techniques:
Wet on dry: in this method, we take the wet brush on dry paper. This technique is great for adding details.
Wet on wet: in this method we use a wet brush on wet paper. This method can be used to blend colour
