In this video, we'll test out whether water or blending medium is better for blending out hard edges in your artwork. Watch to see which one works best for you!
Cauliflowers, blooms or hard edges happen when too much water is added to paint that has already started to dry. The water pushes the pigment outwards towards the edges and creates the characteristic hard lines or edges. Sometimes, we love these edges, othertimes, they are totally undesirable. In this video you will learn how to gently blend these lines into the background.
Other times you will embrace cauliflowers and try to create them. Whatever the case, enjoy the experience and trust the process!
It's all about controlling the water to paint ratio. To learn more. see these videos:
