Joah, I love, love, love this tutorial! It has inspired me to truly master watercoloring, which is not my strong point!!
You used the phrase, "lay down your color" on a palette. What do you mean by that? Are you using reinkers, or markers...? What do you use as a palette. Could you get the same effect with squeezing some ink from the ink pad into its lid as I have always done?
Thanks so much in advance for any advice and clarification you can give me!

I am so happy you are going to jump into watercoloring.
Lay down the color on your palette, just means to put out what you are going to use. I generally prefer to use the brush end of a SU marker and a plastic palette that came with scrapbook paint. I have been also known to squeeze an ink pad and use the ink on the lid, but that can get tiresome if you need a lot of that particular color. I have used closed ink pads as a palette, as well as the plastic clamshell for wood stamp sets, and the case of clear sets. When using the clamshell I insert a white piece of copy paper so I have a white background for the colored inks. Sometimes things like crumb cake and so saffron are hard to see without it. Be sure to practice a bit and use our watercolor paper. I am sure in no time at all you will be thrilled with your results! :-)
Yay! Thank you SO much! These are great tips, and I will be practicing!
