It is a medium that throws up challenges & problems not encountered in any other media. When things go wrong, it can be agonizingly frustrating. But none of these challenges or problems are insurmountable. If you accept the premise that you cannot run until you have learned to walk, & are prepared to take those early steps at an easy, slow pace, then I believe the rudiments of watercolour painting can be learnt by anyone. This doesn't mean I regard the whole business as easy. Far from it! The student of watercolour can expect to find exercises a copmletely mixed bag. Some things will go right first time, whilst others will remain difficult & seemingly unobtainable. It will oftem feel like two successful steps forward are always followed inevitabley by one step backwards or visa versa. The key to success is persaverance! When an exercise has gone well, repeat it to prove to yourself that you can do it again. When an exercise has not gone well, try again. If you continued to fail it, take a break from it. If necessary, move onto the next exercise & return to it when you are in a clearer frame of mind. Above all, save everything. Good or bad; save it! File it in chronological order somewhere so you can review your progress. Observe closely at all times what happens after you have applied the paint. Much of what happens in watercolour happenbs after you've done you've your bit. Happy accidents are an integral part of the medium
- some of the best bits you just can't plan. Above all, enjoy yourself! Don't be too hard on yourself when things don't go right. Remember, it's just a bit of paper & a spot of paint. Pace yourself & you'll be rewarded. Rush it & you'll miss something important. Learn to love the paint before you learn the best ways to apply it. It's a long road, but one rich with surprises. Happy Painting! Author: Peter Woolley
