r/watercolorpractice

I had fun following a video by Paul Clark on YouTube and I learned a lot. There are definitely some things I’m not happy about but I enjoyed the process.
Some of the things I dont like are I accidentally dropped too much water in the top left sky area but that reminded me to always check how loaded my brush is before going in (even when I’m trying to work fast). Also I want to work on my edges to make them more varied and work faster. I didn’t have enough time to do the grass “scoring” before my paint was too dry.
I tried being more “brave” when it comes to values (usually I end up not going dark enough) and I am okay happy with the result. Though I still think I can improve. I also practiced my “decisiveness” and not going back in to correct “mistakes” but instead just let the water do the work.
I’d love to hear what you guys think and get some tips and feedback on what to practice or “do better” next time.

watercolor practice with varying shades of blue ❄️ was inspired by one of the moomin winter ambience playlists on youtube

I did this during lunch...first time trying

This is Hahnemuhle paper but its not 300gsm. I tried to begin with wet on dry and then to add more water & color. It just seemed like the paper sucked up the water really fast. Sigh, anyway, I’m kinda happy with the result. Image from my imagination.

Orange. What should I do for Yellow? 💛💛💛

Finished?

How do you decide which style you like?

I am a beginner in watercolor and learning the techniques . This is something I painted recently. TIA

Water color, stamping and die cuts

I painted this from photo a friend gave me. It’s supposed to be a waterfall in Iceland. It was for a gift for her partners birthday. I feel uncertain if it is worthy of a gift or will end up in the trash.
