What Color Is White?

What color is white?
Gorgeous, glowing colors make white when you use watercolor!
Learn three common, compatible colors for the easiest glowing grays. Watercolor has the most gorgeous gray shades of all the painting mediums, and even beginners can mix them. This snowy tree can make a drop dead gorgeous small painting or a beautiful card that your friends and family will cherish.
And, if you're a beginner, you may find yourself saying, "I can't believe I painted this!", just like my other students have.
This lesson is fine for total beginners. Your washes may not stay put, but it will still turn out beautifully.
Happy Painting!

Hi, I'm Deb Watson - a self taught artist and long time watercolor teacher
My story is simple.
I loved drawing from childhood, but was discouraged from art as a waste of time. So, I became a nurse, worked at a lot of hospitals and raised a family. But I kept painting.
Over time, I became better at the realism I loved, and just kept working toward improving through painting and self-study. I've always enjoyed painting scenes from my life and small town community (which I call my Small Town America series).
My paintings are not usually famous or majestic subjects, often they're just everyday stuff I see around. But I see so much beauty there, and show it to the rest of the world by painting it.
Now, my watercolors have been in exhibits and won awards across the nation. Yet, it's when my art connects me to other people that it's really done what I wanted, and teaching certainly does that!
Happy Painting.
