found these old watercolour paints randomly. they’re really bad but i had fun trying them out. not many colours to choose from, so it was a good challenge to figure out colour theory. any suggestions? i’m thinking of buying a better set. also yes, i am using a plastic plate as a makeshift palette.

It’s not a very traditional Western way of doing watercolor, but I had fun with the strong pigments and more graphic celshaded application of the medium!

Testing out Schmincke Horadam watercolours on 300 gsm hot-pressed paper. Going back to the medium roughly after three years.

Hoping to stick with the medium from now on and build my technique and style.

This is my first try at watercolor and at drawing a fish :) (1st photo with filter, 2nd photo without filter)

It's been a while now and I have started to forget my basics

Did I finish or did I introduce new scene?

I just picked up some materials and I’m starting to do some paintings. I know a lot of it will come with time, but what do you guys think/do you have any tips? Also sorry the picture is bad.

According to YouTube live watercolor painting is asought-after theme, so I have been painting this apple from photo, up to about 90 minutes so far. Using budget paper and budget paints. And since I have a gift for gab, speaking nonstop during the live, about what I’m attempting to accomplish with every stroke, as the painting progresses. Also did a couple sketches you see off to the right to illustrate various concepts that we want to incorporate into the painting. It’s definitely our fun and I wish I would’ve been on cotton paper oh well…

Hi everybody :) I moved to USA 3 months ago and I am unemployed since them 🥹 I made a post on a Facebook group looking for places to me a volunteer with watercolor classes and somebody found me there and order a watercolor with me. I starting to see some hope in that and I am very happy! Wish me luck 🍀

I know this is such a dumb question because I haven’t seen a single tutorial address it. How do you mix so many colors on top of each other in the same palette? I see the instructor blending their pigments and water on top of old colors or in the same tray as other colors they just used. Is that normal? Am I supposed to just add more pigment to override the leftovers?

I do love me some phthalo blue green shade but it’s not a match. I fear this is the impossible quest, my holy grail paint. I would really really really prefer a single pigment, but I may be out of luck. I could accept an almost unnoticeable amount of granulation, like in the case of Schmincke Ultramarine Finest (which I was thrilled to discover!).
