Tuesday Tips and Techniques: Tip Your Board for Longer Washes

This week’s Tuesday tip comes from Michael Holter’s "7 Steps to Watercolor Landscapes."

If you find you're struggling with large washes, try tipping your watercolor board as Michael Holter shows in his video workshop. Michael works with his board tipped at an angle and works with a watercolor bead down his painting. “So as long as this bead on the bottom of this wash is wet," says Michael in "7 Steps to Watercolor Landscapes," "I can continue to paint into it and I won’t leave strange marks and blossoms and streaks.”

This approach will help give you more time to infuse color into your washes.
