After some intense exploration of this medium, one refines the technique and learns from experience.
But besides using this painting technique, we can also add other techniques and apply them onto it. The more obvious would be to add colouring pencils. This conveys richness and particularly if you highlight details.
A very good way to put this in action is actually when incorporating patterns. It's a great way to get enough contrast but naturally blending in with the picture. Another good idea is to use it over one saturated colour and bring out tonal grading. The effect is astounding and work really well with bright colours.
However, these should be worked more towards the end. If you're able to control your watercolours relatively well, then it should not be a problem.
Next week we'll talk about inking over watercolors. Just check out this gorgeous painting of Arthur Rackham. Have fun.
