In today's video I'll show you how to avoid a "cutout" look in watercolor. In other words - how to keep the painting unified and direct the viewer's eyes effectively.

This is an important part of creating a balanced composition that mesmerizes the viewer, and keeps them enjoying the painting!

We'll use today's Washtober 2020 challenge prompt as a demo - Zoom!

I hope you'll enjoy this one 😊🙏🏼
