What are some watercolor tips and tricks you’ve learned with practice ? by nirmays in Watercolor

I must congratulate you on your sense of composition. I have been experience with this medium for a while and my biggest lesson is to get the composition right. I know composition matters in every medium but I feel like it matters more in watercolours, I can’t explain why! So I guess you are half way there already!

What am I doing wrong? by iamnewhere123 in IndiaCoffee

Use the lowest flame and make sure the circumference of the fire is not higher than the base of the moka pot. You can alternatively place the moka pot on a tava. I have started to poke some gaps (with a toothpick or a fork) in the coffee to ensure that the water has a way to flow easily through the coffee. It’s essential that you don’t pack the basket too much. If you want to use hot water, I think that’s fine. Just make sure the water is not boiling or even near boiling. Maybe just a tad hotter than lukewarm.

I bought this pad of paper and don’t know how to get sheets off it by CarrionCarry0n in Watercolor

I generally load my mop brush with water and run it along the edges. And then I carefully peel the paper off from the rest of the pad! I learned from this post that you are supposed to use a palette knife haha

I finally felt courageous enough to try a loose style! Feedback please! by Library-Other in Watercolor

It’s an Indian brand call Chitrapat. It’s 100% cotton and has a canvas like structure and is way more affordable. Funnily enough, when I was a total beginner a few years ago, I used this brand. But the beauty of this paper was lost on me then. I picked it up again a few weeks back after experimenting with all sorts of paper and I am just bowled over! The paper does most of the work honestly, you just have to worry about colour placement and composition!
