If I could go back and begin again, here’s exactly what I’d do differently… no fluff, just the steps that actually matter. Watercolour doesn’t have to be complicated. If I was starting again, this is exactly how I’d begin and I think it will change the way you paint no matter how long you have been painting. So, whether you’re a total beginner or you’ve been painting for a while if you sometimes just feel stuck, these are the simple foundations that will save you years of frustration and help you fall in love with watercolour. This is my greatest wish! 👇 Let's chat in the comments;✨ Question for you, Beauties: If you were starting watercolour again, what’s the one thing you wish someone had told you at the very beginning?
