Tips for Creating Smooth Gradient Blends with Watercolors

[Anonymous]

Hello fellow artists!

I’ve recently started experimenting with watercolors, and I’m struggling to achieve smooth gradient blends between colors. My transitions often end up looking patchy or with hard lines, especially when trying to blend light to dark tones.

Do you have any tips or techniques for creating seamless gradients? Should I be using specific brushes, paper types, or wet-on-wet vs. wet-on-dry methods?

I absolutely love this guide on watercolor gradient techniques! As someone who’s been experimenting with watercolors for a while, I’ve always struggled with creating those seamless transitions between colors. The tip about keeping your paper at an angle is game-changing – it allows the pigments to flow naturally and create that beautiful blending effect. I’ve been practicing these techniques for my art journal project and sharing my progress on my blog at pizza car where I document my creative journey. The wet-on-wet approach mentioned here has definitely improved my landscape paintings, especially for skies and water scenes. Thank you for breaking down these methods in such an accessible way for both beginners and intermediate artists!
