So the last is a little bit of the fellow clean water. Start with lots of water on my brush, going to test it first, just to see. Yeah, that's it. Okay, here we go. I'm going to stay away from right there. But I'm going to start about here and some of these clouds are going to show up.

There's a great one right there. And remember, all I have to do is make sure I don't touch anything wet. Keep turning my brush and keeping things wet. Notice I just dipped into the water. And now I can put a little bit of clean paint and water just near the horizon here. Where's there's my keeping control on the brush.

We don't want to touch that it's wet, I could have waited and let it dry completely, but little bit of tension is good and painting. And now I'm coming over here. What am I gonna do with all of these, I'm going to leave this area alone. I can see there's a little bit of blue in here. Oh, and there's my cloud see my cloud. I can easily go over this branch because it is dry.

Okay, that's nice. I like that. Look at this little cloud showing up. And remember, it's all about dark and light, wet and dry. Okay, this is good. And now I'm just popping in a little bit of blue here and there.

Now a little bit of blue is hard edged. It's okay. So I'm getting some hard edges where here's some hard edges but I like those. I think I'm going to pop a little bit in there. seem just sort of popping in a little bit of the blue. It's actually sky through there.

And there's a cloud there. How about a couple up and downs here just to get some some vertical motion here to Wow, I like it. I think that that's just about done I think I just need a little darker in here. Let's see putting the fellow blue over the ultimate marine. Really mix that real sky blue. Now the skies lighter over here, so I don't want to go too far.

But now I'm just going to watch it now. And because this was wet, it's gonna go up. I'm gonna get I like it. More shadow there. Look at that. I think that's just right.

I'm think I'm going to leave that Mind something just too little. Just a little angled like this just Should I do it? Yes, the papers wet up just even a little bit of paint adjusting it with water. There. Ah, I like that touches on this picture right here. And one of the finishing touches is done with work.

There it is razor blade. So here we are at the end of this picture, I have a razor blade and I'm going to pick off a few top highlights on the rock here. Just Just a couple just going to clean up a few edges on the top of the rock Good to pick up a few white little white specks. That's the grass going up. Always good to break through boundaries, the boundary of the foreground and the background. So, popping that up a bit.

Not too much or the look mechanical. There we go. More on the rock haired couple in the couple little white highlights down in the shadows. I like the way this turned out. That looks like I'm going back back and forth and I'm only pulling that razor blade in one direction. So you see the little shine we're getting on the birch tree.

I could keep going on this and darken the branches but I think that we've learned something here today. Today, we've learned the three principles for the three secrets of watercolor. And those are wet, dry, and why keeping control on the brush. We don't want to touch that it's wet, I could have waited and let it dry completely, but little bit of tension is good in painting. There we go. And I'm coming over here.

What am I gonna do with all of these, I'm going to leave this area alone. I can see there's a little bit of blue in here. Oh, and there's my cloud see my cloud. I can easily go over this branch because it is dry. Okay, that's nice. I like that.

Look at this little cloud showing up. And remember, it's all about dark and light, wet and dry. Okay, this is good. And now I'm just popping in a little bit of blue here and there. Now it's a little bit of the blue is hard edged, it's okay. So I'm getting some hard edges where here's some hard edges but I like those.

I think I'm going to pop a little bit in there. See, I'm just sort of popping in a little bit of the blue. It's actually sky through there. And there's a cloud there. I've got a couple ups and downs here just to get some vertical motion here too. Wow, I like it.

I think that that's just about done. I think I just need a little darker in here. Look how see putting the fail blue over the ultramarine really makes that a real sky blue. Now the skies lighter over here. So I don't want to go too far. But now I'm just going to watch it now.

And because this was wet, it's going to go up. Get I like it more shadow their mind something just too little. Just a little angled like this. Just Should I do it? Yes, the papers wet. I've just got a little bit of paint and adjusting it with water.

There. Ah, I like that. Yeah, I'm thinking that's just right. One dark accent on the mountain a little bit as to dry brushing Oh, whoa, okay. pop it in. A little bit here.

There. There. Okay. And there, it's always a little darker near there. Where the Okay, this is it. That's it who just never know when to stop.

But there's a little voice in you that will say that's enough. Put it down. Put your brush down because Don't forget we have our three secrets. wet. Dry, and watch. Okay, off comes the tape.

A couple ways to do this. One is keep your fingers away from it and pull the tape always away from the picture there. Remember I told you in the beginning of this was in pencil so I can clean up my edges with pencil. The reason I'm not using my fingers is sometimes we can get our fingers dirty. So this is another way to do it. But my hands pretty clean.

You know, this little spot here. I'm really glad I did it or like I'm glad I left that, hey, this is still wet. I'm going to just while the papers wet, remember wet, dry. I'm just going to add a little bit of banging here, which will show up later. Now I can take an eraser, and I'll clean my edges up. Remember I told you about poor erasers?

And erasers help us draw? And I know this is a little wet but that's okay. I'll be okay. Okay, take a soft brush is actually a shaving brush I found in a store for a couple dollars and badger hair. Real badger hair. couple bucks.

I've never used it for painting but it's great for cleaning up your picture. This is wet still, but you know the pencil lines, you have to ask yourself if you want to get rid of them. If you do, when it's totally dry, you can erase them. I feel for this picture that the pencil lines give me a nice outline and I wouldn't get rid of them. So this is a nice little sketch a happy little picture. Here we are at the end of this picture, I have a razor blade and I'm going to pick off a few top highlights on the rock here.

Just Just a couple just going to clean up a few edges. On the top of the rock, good to pick up a few white little white specks. That's the grass going up. Always good to break through boundaries, the boundary of the foreground and the background. So, popping that up a bit, not too much or to look mechanical. There we go.

More on the rock hair, couple in that couple little white highlights down in the shadows like the way this turned out. Looks like I'm going back back and forth, but I'm only pulling the razor blade in one direction. So you see a little shine we're getting on the Third Street. I could keep going on this and darken the branches but I think that we've learned something here today, we've learned the three principles or the three secrets of watercolor. And those are wet, dry and why
