Here I talk about my paintings and being a watercolor artist. I’ll also share tips and tricks and my favorite art supplies.
Working with blooms in watercolor
Blooms are irregular patterns and hard edges, sometimes with a cauliflower shape, that appear within a painted area in a watercolor painting. The opposite of a smooth wash, a bloom is characterized by uneven color.
In this post, I’m sharing all of my thoughts on blooms: why they occur, how you can use them, how to avoid them, how to make them on purpose, and how to get rid them.
