Controlling Watercolor
There are several things to watch for when painting with watercolors and controlling the flow of paint.
1) - THE AMOUNT OF WATER IN YOUR BRUSH.
This is a very important thing to watch for.
You should always (or almost always) start with a clean, slightly moist brush. If you have just washed your brush in your water pail, you should dry it on a piece of absorbent cotton rag or paper.
If you're outside, you can flick it to remove excess water. However, flicking your brush when painting indoors can create some problems.
I also Use a test strip of watercolor paper to make sure the paint flows the way I want it to.
