    This is a wonderful exercise. I find that I have trouble controlling waterflow in my waterbrush, even after considerable practice. Do you have any tips on how to reduce the flow rate?

      great question and I think i should put up a video on this. It was a part of the no fear watercolor class but the video camera was not working on that day. New waterbrushes tend to have a heavier flow. sometimes the problem just goes away. In the meantime, try starting with a quick wipe on a towel, then mix in your paint an palette, test on a spare piece of paper or on the side of your drawing, then apply the paint in your picture. Sounds confusing and complicated but it has become a workflow habit for me. I will try to get a video out soon.
