Simple Single Watercolor Washes

One of the most important teachings I tell my students over and over again is that they should try to do as few a washes as possible and try to get everything into one wash.

First you do the light colors of a wash and then the second washes are the dark objects. Most of the time 2 washes is enough to create a fresh painting.

Watch a real time 20 minute video of how I use only 2 washes to create this landscape scene.
