Roy has spent many years perfecting his fast painting method of How To Watercolor. He advocates painting loose and free.  Watercolors are meant to be free, self expressing, spontaneous, luminous and applied with the minimum number of brush strokes. Finish your paintings while the watercolor paper is still wet from the initial wetting and by the time the watercolor paper dries your painting should be finished. This is "how to watercolor".

   The real secret of How To Watercolor is to paint quickly, using big brushes and the minimum number of brush strokes.

   "Most watercolor painting instructional How To Watercolors DVD's and How To Watercolor workshops teach students complicated design theory and techniques. As we apply these advanced watercolor painting techniques we start using smaller detail brushes. We slow down our painting process to adapt as many of these how to watercolor techniques to our paintings. But if we are not very careful we end up over working the painting to the point that we lose the characteristics of how to watercolor that we loved in the first place.  In order to take advantage of the inherent watercolor properties, we need to use larger brushes that won't allow overworking the painting. Also, the paint needs to be applied as quickly as possible with the fewest number of repeated brush strokes. You still need to plan your painting before starting with a value sketch and you need to have all your supplies such as brushes, paint and scrapping tools prepared and ready to go before you start painting. You won't have time to make adjustments after you start painting. You will only have 12 to 15 minutes until the watercolor paper dries completely. In this how to watercolor method of watercolor painting you must utilize every minute of the drying process in order to complete your painting before the paper dries. You won't have time during the process to analyze your painting for design, value, color, etc. All this needs to be determined before you wet the paper and start your painting. Don't expect your first few painting to be a success with this method of painting. It will take some time for you to learn how to paint quickly. So expect to do lots of trial and error paintings. However with a little patience and practice you will soon be painting beautiful, luminous and loose paintings like the one above."

     How To Watercolor DVD's are focused on painting projects that will allow you to develop your own symbols for trees, water and other natural and man made structures.

Even if your painting ambitions are to eventually reproduce nature in watercolors with great detail, you will greatly benefit from learning how to quickly apply the basic washes in watercolor. Then you can work on using these basic quick paintings to build up your elaborate paintings. Once the painting is dry you can add more washes, glazes or details to your paintings as you desire.
