    Ha! I knew I wasn’t doing wrong layering watercolor pencils and reg color pencils! I’ve only been studying for 3 weeks and when an artist friend saw me doing this he chided me to focus on one media...art is an expression of the soul! Who cares about right and wrong, in particular, it proper technique is employed. I’m so new at this I don’t know if I’ll ever be good enough to do what Wendy does, but I’d sure love to!

    Great comment! I think right or wrong is told by everyones very own heart and not by others. Propably your friend was right, but only for himself and not for you. Also I can totally understand the advise to fokus on one single medium if someone is new to it, to maximise the progress on it.

    Being able to take the spiral binder off your paper would come in handy for organizing your swatch book! you could remove swatches that are no longer relevant or rearrange your pages. I hadn't thought of that before until I saw you show how to unbind your paper.

I am used to painting in watercolors and I cannot figure this out. Please advise. I find this very confusing. I do own your book but just need some advise. As a example, say you have a red object, which red do you use first?
