Trying my hand at watercolours. This, was my first attempt at a full piece after playing around with techniques. I watched hours of YouTube tutorials to absorb (see what I did there) as much as I could. This was using Lightwish watercolour pots on Arches hot pressed watercolor paper. It was loads of fun to try out the things I had been learning. Some successful, some not but overall I got the feeling I wanted so happy with this first attempt. I can't wait to do more. Maybe not so busy haha

Quite new to soft pastels and have built my confidence up on smaller A4/A5 size paper. I wanted to try an A3 sheet today. Canson mi teintes Velvet with Lightwish soft pastels.
