In this watercolor tutorial, I will share exactly how I mix a perfectly cohesive color palette before I paint a full piece. This is a fun, meditative practice and will help the colors in your final watercolor paintings look like they go together. This is a perfect painting tutorial for beginners and all skill levels. I hope these tips and techniques are helpful!
