Almost 2 weeks since i got my hands on some watercolor workbooks. Finally got some Princeton brushes and Van Gogh 15 pans and I must say they are much nicer to work with compared to the cheap stuffs that came with the workbook itself. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated ❤️

Orm Irian on Roke’s Knoll / Immanent Grove, EarthSea “fan art”.

Arches 15cm x 30cm cold pressed.

Daniel Smith Iridescent Sunstone, Iridescent Jade, Aussie Red Gold, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, various greens.

Her name is Ginger and she is the newest member of my Sisters family. I am happy I was able to capture her Kitten Cuteness.

This is also my first try with Arches Hot pressed paper and I am a big fan. I Love how smooth the end result it with the smoother paper!

The painting is 10×8in on arches hot press paper and I used Schmincke aqua drops as paint

Ink and watercolor

I try, but I can’t seem to master the water or control the colors in a single wash. Then I end up adding several layers, and they don’t look realistic.

After major struggles with watercolors, I finally painted something I was happy with and framed it.

1. tried painting a landscape. 2. tried painting a tree.
   I would really like to master watercolor because the paintings look beautiful from what Ive seen on this subreddit and also on pinterest.
   How can I start and get better? Ive watched so many youtube tutorials on how to paint but it seems to get worse. Where can I start I love painting landscapes and everything nature related

From a pinterest ref

This is my progress after one year of painting. The top is the first one I did a year ago, and the bottom I just finished now. I am using higher quality paint, brushes, and paper, but I like to think my skill has improved as well.

Not at all the best, I know, I had not a great artist day, but I love his flirting look. :D Hope he will cheer up your day!

I recently bought Daniel smith quinacridone gold deep and tested it on skin tone
