But to achieve all these aspects, what is important is the selection of colors in advance. Thus try and keep your color palette minimal with the least hues on your palette, so that while you start coloring you don’t get overwhelmed.  Draw with a Light Hand- Watercolors are transparent and thin, which implies that if you draw with a dark pencil you might be left with traces of it. Thus, draw the rough sketch with very light hands and the least visible pencil. You will see how after filling it with colors you will get a fascinating result.  Define the Whites- Planning is important in every aspect of life, and painting is not an exclusion. Thus, while you plan to paint a certain portrait or landscape, make sure you plan that where all the colors would go and which space would be untouched. This planning will help you save that white part of the sketch from getting stained with any other color.  Start Light and Transparent Dips- The beauty of watercolor paint can only be seen while we layer tons of shades onto one another. And to attain that supremacy and finesse, always start with the lightest shade of the color dip. This will also make the base for colors, that you’ll apply afterward and will give a mesmerizing space. As a beginner, all these tips if considered would result in a great painting experience, that will automatically lead to a delightful painting journey. So, note 'em all!
