The basic skills of watercolor painting include wet painting, dry painting and mixed color. Wet painting refers to coating a layer of water on the drawing paper first, and then coating the pigment on the wet drawing paper, which can make the pigment softer and more natural. Dry painting refers to painting pigment directly on dry painting paper, which can make the color more saturated and bright. Mixed color method refers to mixing two or more colors together to get a new color.
The above are the watercolor painting skills that beginners must know. I hope I can help you and make you more handy in the process of watercolor creation.

The material characteristics of watercolor painting determine the unique expression and aesthetic taste that distinguishes watercolor painting from other paintings. In teaching, guiding students to correct and overcome all kinds of disadvantages in watercolor painting is an important link to learn color knowledge and master watercolor performance skills. One of the disadvantages: dirty. The characteristics of watercolor determine its "clean" essence. Dirty colors produce dim and unclean pictures, which will lose the most touching part of watercolor painting. "Dirty" is a common problem in watercolor painting, and its causes are as follows: ① The relationship between cold and warm colors and purity is not clear, and there is a lack of contrast; 2 indiscriminate use of black, resulting in dirty color; (3) Too many times of scanning, brushing and coloring. To correct the disadvantages of "dirty", we must first avoid equal-phase modulation of contrast color and complementary color. Secondly, we should use black with caution or infiltrate low-purity and low-brightness colors into high-purity and high-brightness color blocks. In particular, the black produced by color mixing not only has obvious color tendency, but also can effectively avoid the feeling of "dirty" when it is coordinated with other colors. In addition, the color of the pen used for painting should be accurate and definite, and too much overlapping, washing, brushing and decoration should be avoided as far as possible, otherwise it is easy to lose the moist and transparent characteristics of watercolor painting and the color is turbid. The second shortcoming: gray. A "gray" watercolor painting can make people dull. One of the main reasons for the "gray" picture is that the contrast of color brightness is too weak and there is no strong and heavy color; Second, the contrast of color purity is not enough, lacking bright and pure colors. Therefore, to solve the problem of "grey", we should start from two aspects: sketch and color. Objects in nature, due to their different spatial positions, different inherent color shades and the influence of light, air and other factors, will change the relationship between color brightness, cold and warm, purity and so on. Generally speaking, the objects nearby in a painting are real and concrete, with strong contrast between light and shade and bright colors. Objects in the distance are relatively empty and fuzzy, with weak contrast between light and shade and gray and cold tones. Cultivating correct observation and understanding methods, enhancing keen color perception, mastering the law of color change, and dealing with the relationship between light and shade, primary and secondary, virtual and real, cold and warm, and the purity of the object are the fundamental points to overcome the "gray" of the picture.
The third shortcoming: flowers. The disadvantages of "flower" are mainly that the primary and secondary are not divided, the colors are messy, fragmented and lack of integrity. In the face of natural scenery, the author should boldly select, summarize and refine according to the needs of the theme of the picture, and delete some details unrelated to the theme, so as to make the guest and the host clear and the theme prominent. This is one of the ways to correct the picture "flower". In order to form the main color on the screen, it is not advisable to make too much and too strong contrast in hue, lightness and purity. This is the second way to correct "flowers". In addition, when the picture is half dry and half wet, don't repeat it too much, which can also effectively avoid the disadvantages of leaving obvious marks and producing too many splash marks. The fourth drawback: coke. Transparency and brightness are one of the characteristics of watercolor painting. Too strong color, improper color matching and too many dry methods are the direct reasons for the "focus" of the picture. Painting with watercolor is the basic feature of watercolor painting, and the flowing, transparent and penetrating characteristics of water give watercolor painting a dripping, moist and lively charm. In color matching, besides relying on the lightness of the color itself, water is also used as the medium to melt and dilute the color, and the relationship between lightness and purity changes, forming the mutual penetration, fusion and natural rich color effect of water and color, which is the key link to overcome the color over water, too thick color and "burnt" picture. If ochre, ripe brown and other colors in watercolor pigments are mixed with transparent colors such as ultramarine and violet, and appropriate water is used, color precipitation will occur and wonderful and rich texture effects will appear. On the contrary, avoid mixing ochre with other colors with poor transparency, and avoid the feeling of dry "scorch" in the picture color, so be careful when mixing colors, and try to use it alone or not more than three colors when mixing colors. Using wet painting can greatly enhance the transparency of picture color and avoid the problem of "focus". In addition, careful use of khaki, flesh color, pink green and other colors is also an important aspect to prevent the picture from losing color transparency. The fifth drawback: powder. The main reason why the picture is "pink" is that the color is unclear. Taking water as the medium to adjust the brightness and purity of color is one of the methods of watercolor color matching. It is necessary to clarify and strengthen the relationship between cool colors and warm colors, and avoid painting cool colors or warm colors as medium gray. Secondly, where the color of the picture is deeper and heavier, the relationship between color lightness should be more clearly determined, which are all effective methods to avoid the "powder gas" of the picture. The sixth shortcoming: looseness. "Loose" is a picture defect directly caused by improper water control in watercolor painting. In watercolor painting, we should master the characteristics of water and use it flexibly. Water can determine the shade, light and shade, wet and dry colors of the picture, determine the virtual, solid, hard, soft, sticky and scattered shapes, produce rich expression skills, and make the picture full of vitality and charm. If you can't master water skillfully, it will make your body messy, pale and loose. Therefore, paying attention to wet and dry sides, grasping the overlapping time of wet and the amount of water in color are the key and difficult points in watercolor painting, and also the key link to avoid watercolor flooding. When painting, the summary should be bold and cautious, the details should overlap, it should be clear and affirmative, and it should be full of strength. In addition, overcoming the blind pursuit of wet painting is also an effective way to correct and avoid the looseness of watercolor painting. There are six common shortcomings in watercolor painting, including color problem, technique problem and sketch problem. One thing is certain, that is, observe more, feel more, discover the rules, and practice frequently.
