Tips and Tidbits
Three New Things to Try in Watercolor
from "Daring Color" by Anne Abgott
1. When a brush becomes ragged, try dipping it in boiling water. Let dry - good as new.
2. Fill wells with paint, let dry, mist. Ideal for more control, consistency just right.
3. Using the right paper is important. I use Archer 300 lb. You don't staple it and you can use both sides.
