When painting a watercolor what could the artist use in addition to the paint without it becoming a mixed media painting?

Answer 1

Well, if mixing the paints is an issue, I have a few suggestions that might help: -If you want the paintings to stop mixing, wait for wet parts to dry before moving on to another section. This way the painting looks almost perfect - You can use a divider. Find them at your local craft store. While painting put this divider to your picture (lightly, barely touching) and paint the part you want to paint. The divider seperates the colors from touching and helps u to continue painting. - You can also try using a dry paint brush. I use this technique all the time. When I am painting and I dont want the red and orange to touch while still wet, I paint the orange and then on the edge of the orange I brush it with a dry paintbrush to suck up all the wetness and then I paint the red. Works like a charm. Try it.
