Compare Two Watercolour Techniques For A Scene

You have watched tutorials for both wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry and still cannot tell which one your misty harbour scene actually needs. This compares them against your scene and your time available and tells you which to lead with. Suits beginner and intermediate watercolour painters planning a piece.

<task>
**Compare** wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry technique for the scene described.
1. Assess which technique better captures the atmosphere and edges the scene calls for (soft mist versus crisp detail, for example).
2. Note the skill level and control each technique demands, and where mistakes are hardest to recover from.
3. Consider drying time and workflow implications for the student's stated time available.
4. Recommend one technique as the primary approach, with a note on where the other could still be used within the same painting.
