painting the same thing after 8 months of watercolour practice

october 2025 vs july 2026

of course the biggest change in that time is style - but i really think i have improved in a lot of areas and really started to find my feet!

i have really loved learning watercolour, i’m interested to see how my style might have changed by this time next year!

my first time properly painting flowers!

i’m going to try and do a series of these mini paintings of british wildflowers, i feel like i already see improvement (did the bluebells first)

Before vs after massive purple shadow

I really like how this came out, I probably could have gone darker with it but I was too scared lol

It’s nowhere near perfect but I’m happy with how it came out! This was a practice run that took me a couple of hours to complete, painting stuff like this really makes me feel like a real artist hehe
