Hi there, Liron here! In today's vid we'll cover 2 aspects of watercolor that'll VASTLY improve your results!
In reverse order:
2 - Don't try to match EVERY color you see.
Instead, think of the ABSTRACT composition on paper, had you removed all the drawing lines, and looked at the temperatures and colors of the first wash.
This moves you away from the rigidity of trying to match the colors, and enables you to paint more freely.
1 - CONNECTIONS - If multiple shapes have a similar value - treat them as one! Even if the colors are different.
