When watercolors are used on a wet piece of watercolor paper, the colors spread and feather in fluffy ways. When the paper is dry, the paint edges are more defined. Both ways can yield the image of a very cute bird, as shown in the five minute video above.
Set to music, this MoonMoonArtWork watercolor painting shares both wet and dry painting techniques with the same little robin.
Two key notes shown in the video: There are times when layering of colors and elements require waiting for the paint to dry. An opaque paint can also provide a crisp layer for highlights or other details.
