Easy Watercolor Background Techniques for Beginners - Five Ideas

[@maureencepiel959]

You struck a chord with me when you said sometimes we don't know what colors to use as a background for the subject we've chosen. I really like the small background to help focus the subject. I will try that with my animal paintings. Thank you!

Did you mask off your birds? Love the variety of techniques. Thank you for sharing as I struggle with background choices.

[@createwithaura]

You are welcome, and thank you for your question! I didn't mask them in this particular bee-eater painting, but if I wasn't able to paint the background in separate sections (top and bottom left, and top and bottom right), then I would consider masking. Or, if the background was a large area and I wanted it to be a consistent flat wash, I would probably mask the subject. I hope that helps?
