Today joy of joys I got my computers memory enhanced so I can work with video clips at a faster rate. This will allow for more productive movie making skills.
The watercolor tip of the day is the last frame of this video where I pull back and show you what your paints should look like at the end of a painting session. Do you see it? No muddy puddles, no puddles of brownish , brackish yuckiness. What I have learned so far: Keep your paints wet and don't over mix them to the point that they become dull neutral masses. Let your paints run together but don't let them mix themselves. They need a chaperone. That is you the designated adult.
