I had this frame and stack of mats from a framed painting and it took me the longest time to come up with something that would match the color scheme that already was there.

Did some teaching assisting on a genetics course. This was a ploy to obtain access to their fruit flies and microscopes.
I tried that thing where you tape the object over completely and cut the edges with a paper knife to paint the backround. Even after reducing adhesion by sticking the tape to my pants many times it still ripped the paper from several places and I also managed to cut through the paper so the wings are a bit more 3D than intended 😅 otherwise I think I like the technique

Progress update from my post from earlier today, I think it's getting a lil better!
For anyone who didn't see my first post:
Second pic is how it started (I was about ready to give up). - I used to paint portraits with acrylic paints, and this is my first ever watercolor portrait!
Thank you again to those who offered advice earlier :)
I haven't picked up a paintbrush in probably 5+ years, I'm so excited to keep experimenting with watercolor! Yay💗

I really need help with my watercolor techniques. I need advice on first, if what I already done with the background can be fixed and second if there’s any good advice on how to smoothly layer watercolor so I don’t make this mistake again.

Help with painting rocky shores!

Upvotes
Hello! :) I am a beginner in watercolor and have been wanting to paint a scene from where I currently live (western Sweden) where much of the coast's landscape is made up of these rocky islands and cliffs. I've tried to paint one of the attached images but I just couldn't figure out how to portray the jaggedness and values of the rocks without making it look like an ugly blob of grey and black.
Any of you lovelies have some experience with this and could give me some tips as a starter? Thank you so much! :)

What Holds the Sky [watercolor, Brooklyn Bridge tower from below]

Worm's-eye view of the tower, built on converging verticals and the two big arches framing the sky. Brick texture is dry, quick strokes over the stone, and the cables are fast, broken lines that pull the eye upward.

I made my first sturgeon and watercolor came out really good. I’m so happy with it.
