A watercolor  wash is usually used when you do a background or a large area.  It can be done with one color or many.  It is achieved when you cover a large surface with a watery mixture of your paint.

Here is a link to the supplies used in this video.

• Wash brush
• Round brush size 8
• pencil, any is fine!
• Paper: I use arches 140lb cold press block
• If you don’t have a block you’ll need masking tape
• Winsor Red
• French Ultramarine (Blue)
• water - from the tap is perfect!
