Watercolor painting step by step

 It has probably happened to you that you have seen a beautiful watercolor painting and you thought to yourself that I wish I could draw a painting like this. Many novice artists are afraid to try painting because they do not know how to start painting with watercolors. I believe that everyone can enjoy painting. Some people just do not know where to start. Others have fears and frustrations that hinder their progress. In fact, it is not just the result of a work that is very important that is a very significant work of art, but what is important is to paint and enjoy what you do.

I want to help you overcome the reasons that are holding you back and discover the first steps you need to take to get started with great watercolors.


Watercolor painting is one of the most valuable, beautiful, emotional and accessible artistic paintings. Join Midnight to explore some simple ideas and projects to embark on a creative journey into the world of painting.


Tools needed to get started:

You do not need much to start painting with watercolors. The basics include a brush, watercolor paper, a palette, a glass of water and multi-colored watercolors. You do not need a huge range of colors to get great results. Basic color theory tells us that you can mix any color from just three primary colors: yellow, red, and blue. In fact, you need three main colors to mix any color you want. The smallest palette for the best color mixing range consists of six colors.


Knowing the colors and how to combine them is very important in painting, especially watercolor painting. With just a few basic colors like yellow, red and blue you can create the rest of the colors by combining these colors.


Choose any color you like. First, place a glass of water next to your hand. Wet the brush in water. Then apply it in the desired color and create a color hole in your palette by combining color and water.

What is the best watercolor brand available in the Iranian market?

St. Petersburg Watercolor and Winsor & Newton are two quality brands available that are usually used by professional painters. These watercolors are available in tablet form with 12, 24, 36 and 48 colors. Of course, you can buy 12 colors to start with, and then buy the tablets you need individually and add them to your watercolor. There is another model besides the pill which is a tube. The price of these watercolors starts from about five hundred thousand tomans. If you are looking for a quality but economical watercolor, I recommend the German Pelican brand.
