Let’s explore and practice before making your watercolour painting. 
Be creative!  Explore the ways you can think of. 


Materials and tools: Watercolour paints, drawing paper, drawing boards, brushes, water, water buckets


Apply colour on a moist paper or on top of watercolour paint that has not yet dried to create a colour gradation for the background. 

After a colour paint dries on the paper, applying another colour on top of it can create a new visual layer.
