I lifted the clouds with a tissue but the edges came out hard. Did I wait too long?

My graded wash goes patchy about halfway down. Too much water, or too little?

Nadia's notes

Lovely flat wash, Elaine: no streaks, and that's the hard one. The graded wash goes patchy because the bead of paint dries before you reach it. Load the brush fully for every stroke, add a little more water each time, and tilt the board a touch more. The rose blooming into the blue in your wet-in-wet panel is exactly right. Try one more graded strip before Skies.

How Nadia marks

She looks at one thing that works and one thing to try next, written for your painting. Rose ink is her notes; your question sits above them.
