    I was thinking; Some watercolors change their vibrance when they are wet and when they dry. Any help?

  • @olgakoelsch

    @olgakoelsch

    Жыл бұрын

    That a good notice! It’s very natural for watercolors as paper absorbs some pigments. Cotton paper absorbs more than synthetic. Usually you just get used to your colors and know when it’s possible to add some more vibrancy 🤗
