Thank you so much, I was wondering why watercolours didn't really work out for me! I was experiencing problems like:
-not being able to make the paint spread like I want it to
-the paint sometimes doesn't bleed nicely
-my brush won't hold as much water
-my brush strokes look choppy(lack of water)
AGAIN, THANK YOU! I AM SCREAMING FOR JOY NOW! :D

Wow, this tutorial is great! I started working with watercolour not too long ago, and there's always new things to learn. Like drying up tube paint, I always kept away from tubes because I didn't find it practical to use the paint wet straight from the tube. And I never really got the difference between different kinds of paper, so thanks for clearing that up! Neat tutorial overall, easy to understand and all the information one might need :)

Iīm going to buy watercolours in 3 weeks. I will get my many from part-time job. And I didnīt know with colours I should pick. There are so many obtions. But thanks to your tutorial now I know. :) I want to ask if there is a difference between a pan colour and tubes colours if I let them dry in my palette for few days. Thanks for answer and sorry for my English :P :)

Thanks ^^~ The tutorial is very helpful. For the cheap watercolour, when they dried, you cant re-use it anymore so I have a question - Is Pentel watercolour re-usable after dried? Cuz I hate to waste paint

Nice tips. ^^ I do agree with a lot of what you say here too. Windsor Newton's one of my favorite brands. Though I have mostly student brand from that company it's really nice to work with. The only tube that's artist grade is my favorite.

Hmm, favorite brand of watercolour paper: Arches.
