Water Control Secrets - Use Your Jar, Paper, Palette and Brush like a Pro

In this watercolor tutorial video the focus will be on how to control your water when painting watercolor so that you can maximize your success. Water can be controlled in four different places - the jar, watercolor paper, watercolor palette, and your watercolor brushes. We'll talk about each aspect of these 4 areas to learn how to control your water!
