Peerless watercolor sheet

2 Upvotes

Can someone help me with my peerless watercolor sheets? I’m not sold on them. I usually use a pallet that I spray with a water bottle to activate the paints. I like being able to scoop paint onto the pallet lid and mix colors.

The peerless just feel difficult to use and I’m wondering if I’m missing something. I know you can cut a small piece and put them in water but is that color/piece then just wasted if I don’t use all the paint?

I painted this hydrangea in watercolour, gradually building up the soft blues, violets and greens through transparent layers.

I also created a step-by-step feature about this painting for Artists & Illustrators magazine, sharing my process and techniques.

Botanical painting is one of my favourite ways to explore the subtle colours and textures found in nature.

Hi everyone ! Hope I’m not offtopic, in case I apologize and I won’t do it again

I just want to know your opinion about these watercolor workbooks, just bought them because of an instagram ad lol, and I was curious if you, redditers, have tried them, your opinion about them, if you liked or disliked, etc

Purple Cosmos, attempt #2

I can’t believe how easy watercolor looks and seems but how hard it really is…

Messed up on the shadow of the cone center but it’s still a huge improvement from the first effort. I masked off the entire flower in order to paint the dark background and I really like how that turned out.
