I would use the blow dryer or a few hours. You are so helpful. I would like more tutorials on glazing, shading, and details. I just don't get it. My paintings look flat and dull.

    This is great and something that impatient me needs to work on. 😮. But I’m also thinking 🤔 if for whatever reason, you just needed to get that crisp & clean line, or shadow and didn’t want to wait, you could use a watercolor pencil or other water-soluble medium….like a Neocolor 2 crayon, and get at least some of what you might get with proper curing and glazing. I don’t think it would necessarily give you the same effect of pure watercolor, but maybe it would be what you want and need at the time?

    I have learned (not mastered - great difference) that for glazing, e.g. a shadow cast on a large building, you do it with one stroke. not going back and forth. I guess, 'half' a stroke in addition, to pick up, where there is an edge, is still ok. but not going back and forth too often and not pressing too much. then, when it is blow dried thoroughly, it should work as well. but I must say, when working in many layers, it does help, when at least the darker values at the top, are not to easy to lift - I find - as a lay person so to speak

I find myself saving every save Kristi watercolor, but Before I dive in with 100% of my adHd attention, I really need some sort of starting point. I remember watching a video with a hand made chart and thinking there is probably somewhere different to start. sorry it’s not about glazing. But I promise to have ??s when I get to this!

    But adding dry paint over top will give you the dreaded HARD EDGES won’t it? And then you try to smooth them with a damp brush and then it’s OVERWORKED!!! Argh!!

    I think for me is I watch videos and think i have to follow along and end up with a crappy looking painting because I don’t let it dry….then I get discouraged very quickly
