Q. Could you share us your favorite technique?

A. Yes, it’s “Bleeding” and “Gradation”.

I often add bleeding to my artwork. Not only it creates a soft, gentle atmosphere, but I also love the one-time, accidental bleeds.
Moreover, I like to make use of the white color of the base of watercolor paper. I think it makes my artwork brighter.

Bleeding (1)

Stretch the watercolor paper on a board with a masking tape.
Wet the entire paper with water.
This process will make the bleeding easier.
Bleeding (2)

I leave the two following parts unpainted, where the light hits, and the clouds in the sky.
By leaving the white base color of the watercolor paper, I think the pure white comes out.
Watercolors can be redone in some areas, so the trick is to paint with all your heart without fear of failure.
Gradation (1)

Let’s paint the first color.
Here I use yellow-green.
Gradation (2)

Before the yellow-green dries, paint on the second color, green.
When layering the green, the trick is not to painting overall.
Leave some yellow-green parts so that you can express nice gradations.
