    Five common mistakes made by beginning watercolor artists are discussed. The first is adding too much water, which causes the pigment to pool. The second is not adding enough water, as watercolor requires transparency. The third is using the wrong paper, such as printer paper, instead of watercolor paper. The fourth is using small brushes for large areas instead of larger brushes. The fifth is using white to lighten colors, which does not work well and is better achieved by using water.

    5 Watercolour begginer watercolour artists make
    </head><H3>
    1st Mistake
    <br>
    < font face= ''Mountain bridge'' size=''6''> This is something lots of begginers
    make and it is adding too much water. When you add lots of water you notice a
    puddle and u can also notice that the entire pigment is to one side of the
    water. The only to fix this problem is to use a dry brush and take all the excess
    water off. You can also use a tissue paper.</p>
    <br>
    2nd Mistake
    <br>
    < font face= ''Mountain bridge'' size=''6''> This mistake is the complete
    opposite to the other one and it not adding wtaer. Watercolour is known for its
    transperancy and if you dont add water itis not called as watercolour. What you
    need to add is just add water.</p>
    <br>
    3rd Mistake
    <br>

    < font face= ''Mountain bridge'' size=''6''>The third mistake is not using the
    right paper. Many people use printer paper which just absorbs water and
    sometimes breaks that is why you should use watercolour paper . </p>
    <br>
    4th Mistake
    <br>
    < font face= ''Mountain bridge'' size=''6''>The forth mistake is not using a
    larger brush for larger spacing. Many people just use small brush and just circle
    up the area which then doesnt look good.</p>
    <br>
    5th Mistakeolours
    <br>
    < font face= ''Mountain bridge'' size=''6''> The Last mistake is using
    white. Many people might use white to lighten their colour but practically
    doesnt work and instead it just makes a pastel shade of that colour so if
    you want to lighten a colour then you can use water.</p>
