Watercolour has neither of these qualities. Especially the layering. I'm excellent at painting mud. Although, today, I'm trying to fix that-or at least starting to.
Here's where I am now, as of 10:30 this morning. Looking pretty terrble, but I'm going to let it dry and then add some more. Maybe it will still be mud, but I'm hoping to capture and preserve the light that watercolours provide.
