Hi! I am new to watercoloring. You talk about using transparent yellow. I'm using White Nights Watercolor starting out. I feel that my yellow has "white" in it, does that sound right?

It sounds like you have more of an opaque yellow. I’m not familiar with the White Nights palette you’re talking about, but I will do some research here in a moment. The yellow that I use is very light but pigmented. I also have used Lemon Yellow by Windsor and Newton, which is a very similar color

Many companies sell watercolor “grounds”, which theoretically help protect paper, though I haven’t tried it myself and heard of a bad experience that a friend had. But again, I haven’t tested it myself! You can use a piece of watercolor paper as a barrier between the page you’re painting and the page underneath. Start with a small test area to see how the paper responds and try to keep it as dry in your painting technique as possible.

I was supposed to retire a few weeks ago and so naturally I bought a bag of watercolor painting paraphernalia. Today, first day, I tried to work on your painting and when a finished .. I'm not so sure. I started with the sky and everything but at the moment it looks less of a landscape and more like Julius Cesar biting a NY taxi driver while an interested giraffe looks at the incident. The other thing is that my brush somehow lifts the paint off the paper revealing the white paper again. Sure I'm not ready this time around.
