Beginner Watercolor Techniques | Sketchbook Practice | Daniel Smith Watercolor Sticks

Описание: Try doing a simple and relaxing watercolor practice like this in your sketchbook. For this page, I used two Daniel Smith Watercolor Sticks to see how they blend and layer, and to get to know the colors better. You could do this with any combination of colors you wish (or even one color and vary the strength of it throughout the page). I use practice exercises like this to unwind and help keep the stress of everyday life and work at bay.

As a bonus, they help with practicing brush control, water control, and other watercolor techniques like wet-on-dry, wet-on-wet, glazing, and color mixing on the paper. Revel in the amount of colors and shades you can achieve with only two watercolors!
