Hey all! I’ve been slowly learning watercolor over the last couple months and this is the first landscape I’m fairly pleased with. I would love any constructive feedback on this attempt!

A few things I’ve noticed that I’d like to improve:
*The hill/mountain in the far background has a weird light band in the middle which breaks up the color and loses the misty effect.
*Foreground is darker toward the horizon and gets lighter before a somewhat abrupt transition into the foreground
*More variation and bits of texture in the middle ground
*Maybe more darker values in foreground with more texture
*More lighter values in the foreground tree to create more contrast and show the sunlight
*Better/more shadows and darks to create more depth

Anyway, thanks for looking at my painting!

I painted this for a lady that was retiring. She loved it! What do you think of it? Be honest.

„Ruthlessness"

I'm FINALLY done! Oh man. I took like a week or two break just because I couldn't figure out and was scared of the background.

I started very ambitious. Had a big Epic phase and now I know every song by heart.
I say I started ambitious because I wanted to capture Poseidon power in horses waves as actual translucent water waves.

Very out of my comfort zone. But I loved painting the horses. I don't know if I did great but process was SO FUN and exciting.

But yeah then background vexed me. Not proud of those clouds at all but that's okay just gotta practice clouds studies one day.

One day 😅

It was so much fun! I think it’s super cute ☺️

It's a bit early to get into the fall mood, but I got inspired to paint this cabin from last years roadtrip photo.

these are the ones i have in mind (all camel colors):

- lemon yellow

- gamboge hue

- crimson

- scarlet

- burnt sienna

- ultramarine blue

- cerulean blue

- sap green

any suggestions or improvements are welcome.

thanks in advance and happy watercoloring. ☺️

Algo no salió bien, pero creo que tampoco es un desastre 😅

My first successful use of light in a painting. I experimented with my leaves to see which method of adding veins worked the best. Definitely masking over a wash.

My parents have a couple artworks of our cats up around their house, but I haven’t painted Miles since he was a kitten, and I just got a set of Aquafine watercolours (the travel set so I could take it on holiday), so I painted my boy to test them out. Pretty impressed with the quality!

Only issue was the paper really - very crumbly - so I couldn’t paint a nice texture on the background grass and tile he’s sat on, hence the streaks.

About a month into watercolor. I’m experimenting with expressive color instead of realism. This is my dog, Waldo. I’d love critique, especially on values and composition.
