My style of watercolor painting is currently all over the map as I explore my options, skill and tastes. Most (but not all) are with ink first then watercolor, and I’ve even explored a bit with watercolor markers and Gouache (rhymes with ‘Gu-wash’). You never know what you will get with watercolor till the end.
