Watercolor TIPS TO IMPROVE paintings - 5 beginner mistakes | Painting an eye with watercolor

Wether you are struggling with watercolors, or you don't know where to start, or you just do not know how to improve your skills anymore, I'm sharing 5 watercolor tips to improve paintings. They have helped me and will hopefully help you too move forward.
Find out, through my own experience, how it is completely natural to go through some kind of a struggle when painting or practicing with a new medium in general, and what you can do to level up your skills and get motivated.

Even just watching you go in with that big mop to lay down the first layer was so instructive. And yes like you, I’m starting out far more confident with the control of drawing vs the looseness or watercolor if I’m painting realistic (or impressionistic) work (I do fun cartoony monsters in watercolor just fine). So appreciate this guidance.
