Watercolor - step by step - without drawing
Thanks to @groundcontrol, and his unselfish support, I will try to explain here how I do some of my watercolors and what kind of materials I am using.
This is one of the subjects I been doing for several years already, and from start I am doing it without drawing. Maybe because whole process is playing with color and water.
This is how it looks at the end..
Size of Fabriano Studio paper 25x25 cm- I posted photo of tipe I use in one of previous blogs - 300gr, White Nights watercolors.
Paper is stiked with paper tape - not so strong since those strong one can harm paper later, when taking of.
First step - watering upper part, if there is too much water, use paper towel to take it of. Than start with color, at first try to use not too much of it.
Second - here is added more color...all the time I watch and if it is needed to use paper towel for removing off any excess of water.
Third - waiting to dry, usually I leave it over night to dry, sometimes it looks like it is, but true colors and fine parts need to dry longer.
Fourth- adding blue, purple, indigo..
And here it is...
And this is my creative mess ...in wooden box are White Nights colors, and smaller pans are VanGogh, on the left in green box are Sekura colors.
Brushes are all sort of kind.
Beautiful color and the randomness of watercolor❤️️
Thank you @nanosesame, I am happy you like it!

Great post @jungwatercolor, thanks for taking the time to give some tips.
Waiting for it to dry over night is interesting, i think in the past when i've tried watercolour but gave up, i never really waited for it to dry between layers and thats probably why it became a big watery mess or i'd loose parts that i liked when adding a new layer.
One of these days i'll post a watercolour to steemit and let everyone know you inspired it.
Thanks, I will do more of this, and give tips whenever I can :)
Waiting for your watercolor.
Nice work...I love watercolor art....I want my next tattoo to be watercolor :) :)
Thank you @kayleigh-alesta..
Koool to see it with out a sketch for reference. I've seen lot's here on steemit who sketch then add the paint. Nice to see someone put it all together from the mind as they go.
Thank you @stillwater, sometimes watercolor is just not posible to do without sketch. But this kind is posiblle, keep following, more to come :)
