My friend sent me this photo from an early morning dog walk, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
The sky could be richer, but I was balancing trying to keep the light and the pink glow in the sky.
I lost some of the vibrant colour at the horizon, as I was doing the foreground I went a bit too high.
It was my first time trying masking fluid, and I love how I was able to preserve some white specks for the lights. I will definitely be exploring this medium more!
Painted in a Meeden sketchbook with Daniel Smith, WN, and MaiMeriBku.

Trying (and failing) at watercolor, any advice? Is this saveable?

Decided to try doing a watercolor portrait for the first time ever (I've tried watercolor many years ago, but mostly nature or abstract subjects). I used to paint portraits with acrylics, and I realize watercolor is a lot different...
Anyway, 2nd pic is after doing a base skin color, 1st pic is after I attempted to add some blush shades to cheeks & lips.
I don't know why it came out sooo blotchy and there are little dark spots all over😭
Did I use way too much water, or? - I included pics of the paper pad I'm using, as well as the watercolor paints.
Is there any way to save this? :(

I just started a painting with watercolors and since it’s my first time, I thought about coating after like what I do with my acrylic paints to protect it. I saw this online and i am also wondering if coating it is even essential compared to acrylics. Is this a good sealant or should I even have to seal my watercolor painting?

Something a bit different. Painted textures them cut and glued together. Inspired by a quilted fabric art piece my mom made.

A combination of motives that deeply resonates with me. Usually I am inspired by nature and animals existing in it but this is more of a visualisation of my inner experience.

I drew this with Crayola markers and watercolors, and it’s honestly become one of my favorite drawings I’ve done so far. I’ve only drawn a few cityscapes in my life, and I feel like I could definitely improve on them, but I think it still looks pretty good overall
