I’m starting to get a feel for consistent results when I only want one value. Still having trouble with getting a nice gradation, or at least one that starts and stops where I want it to at the values I want it to. Any tips welcome!
Hi Sara- what a wonderful tool and reference page! Once you find something that you feel is successful keep practicing it until you feel comfortable with it. If you are going to work strictly in watercolor than it is more important than if you were to add color pencil on top of the watercolor. The advantage to adding the color pencil is that you can correct and finesse aspects, like saturation and gradation, etc that may have not been as successful as you had hoped with the watercolor.
