You can use alternative colors, although the effect might not always be the same, due to the different hues, and consistencies of the paints. To substitute colors, you usually need to make blends of other colors.
When creating a pre-mix, use your discretion to add a little bit of pigment at a time, until you have the color mix you need. If you work wet-on-wet, your pigment ratios will be higher. With wet-on-dry, your mix should be more watery.

[@01bmw325xi]

I've used the c.card for mountains but you really nailed it here. I need to practice that for making the rocks look realistic.

[@OurWatercolourJourney]

Thank you very much. The card method is a lot fun. It helps to create beautiful organic shapes.

[@kristiemaloy4099]

Great idea

[@OurWatercolourJourney]

Thank you

[@sherylwhittaker6611]

What a great idea! Thsnks gor sharing 😊

[@OurWatercolourJourney]

It is a pleasure. It is fun to experiment with different ideas.

[@zerogoldfish201]

Genius! This idea about the sheet tipping gives exactly the effect I was looking to create for a waterfall. Thank you so much! Also, the remaining the piece is gorgeous. You’ve got a new follower.

[@OurWatercolourJourney]

Thank you so much. It is all these experimental pieces that makes watercolour so much fun. I am so glad that you joined our journey.

[@charlottelemaitre791]

For the record, even with the help of flow medium, it was totally impossible for me to get the waterfall effect. There definitely is a level of skill to this technique that isn’t beginner friendly.

[@OurWatercolourJourney]

I am sorry that the painting didn't work the way you wanted. Watercolour can be an unpredictable medium. There are many factors which influence the flow of the paint, and I was fortunate to have a very good day. This technique is quite interesting and can produce many different results, so please don't give up on it, try the technique again some other time. Thank you for your comment.

[@electrichen6243]

I'm absolutely amazed how the waterfall evolved. Definitely going to have a go although I only have cheap paints and brushes. Your art and explanation inspires me, thank you for sharing.♥

[@OurWatercolourJourney]

Thank you for the compliment. Please share your results with us on Instagram. We'd love to see how you did it:)

[@jeanetteadams8095]

As long as you have 100% cotton paper, it will work although the colors will not look the same. They rarely do. But if it isn't cotton paper, you poetically will have difficulty getting it to flow

[@rosemarymoore3142]

That's clever! Thank you for showing how to do it.

[@OurWatercolourJourney]

You're welcome 🌹

[@julieo8017]

What fun!! Am going to try using paper in portrait position gonna be a taller waterfall and some cascade green

[@OurWatercolourJourney]

Enjoy! Please share your results with us:)
