how do you create amazing effects from watercolor? any suggestions? pls. help me.

This might probably be just good for me, but I like the output better if I color the darker areas first and then when the paint is about semi-dried up, I put quite an amount of water in my brush then I wet the painted part again then I drag it around the parts where I want to color. Kinda like foreground before background.

Thanks for that tip... how do you create an even tone in a large surface? do you use any specific brush?

wet the surface with water first, than spread the pigment evenly over it the wet surface. ive never painted professionaly so i wouldnt kno if theres a special brush for this kind of task. i'd just use a huge brush.
(i was taught to do this in a painting class but i was never able to do this right, buti have seen it properly done)

I can tell you if you want to make something glimer like water there is a certian crayon that is clear , but I don't exactaly know if any art stores sell them

heh.. you know, that's a problem for me too.. ^^'
I'd probably just go crazy and dip about 4 brushes into different analogous colors and paint away!! n_n
