A Quick Guide to Watercolor Painting
Sometimes I get asked for a quick guide to watercolor painting. People say that I make watercolor painting easy. That’s because I simplify the process so you can be more successful. After all, I believe the ability to create is within everyone. It’s just you and your brush and time to explore the possibilities.

How to Set up Your Watercolor Palette from Cindy Briggs Art on Vimeo.
Cindy shares how to set up an 18-well watercolor palette with Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors.

This is her standard workshop palette.

I love using Daniel Smith watercolors in all of my sketchbook paintings because I can count on it’s variety of color selection, quality and consistency of color. Whether you are a beginner with watercolor painting or if you just enjoy trying out new colors, I suggest that you experiment and play with watercolors first so you become familiar with how they mix and mingle together.
