This is my third watercolor tutorial for beginners. In this video, I will be painting a super cute (IMHO) colorful gecko using the techniques of wet-on-dry, wet-on-wet, and glazing. I hope you enjoy this watercolor tutorial and let me know in the comments if there is something you would like to see in a beginner tutorial.
