Description
My 2nd watercolor tutorial.It might looks pretty long, because it's filled with many pictures to help you understand my process, instead of using a lot of texts.
Edit: Wet in Wet is : Adding wet colors on damp sheet of paper or an area of still-wet paint, and let them run out over the wet surface, giving soft-hazy effect
If you have any watercolor question, Feel free to ask me.

You don't really have to answer this, but does your paper look textured or smooth?

It doesn't look like you fastened your paper down... How do you keep it from curling?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I think 300g watercolor paper can handle that.

Good paper tends to not curl as much.

Can you tell me how to do the wet in wet technique?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Add wet paints or pure water on paper first, and then add more wet colors on the soaked area.
make sure to do it fast before all the wet surface dried out

Strange....i use Montaul or whatev, but my watercolor teacher says its a wood base paper and not 100% cotton...How do you get it to look so smooth?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To make watercolor painting looks smooth, You don't have to use 100% cotton watercolor paper.

What do you do to stop the paper from rising when you paint it with the watercolor?
How do you paint he tiniest details?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know how to answer your first question, yet there's very small brushes(i have one of them) that can do those details.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
with small, i mean "thin" they are not that small at all.
