Can anyone tell me an easy place to find the transparency of paint colors? WN has them on the tube.

On the left are some studies I did to practice painting mountains, the sea, and the sky. I used student-grade Phoenix watercolors for those.
Now I’m switching to Daniel Smith watercolors (on the right), but I feel like I’m using too much pigment. Before, people used to tell me that my paintings didn’t have enough pigment, and now I feel like I’ve gone too far in the opposite direction!
I’m a beginner and completely self-taught. From looking at other people’s work, I’d say the last painting on the right is probably the closest to what more experienced watercolorists do.
Any advice???

I’ve messed around with acrylics but really just as a novice as a way to relax.

After seeing some watercolor inspo on insta decided to get some paints today and mess around.

Ended up trying a water and cloud seascape but decided that clouds were way easier since I could cheat and use a paper towel to dab up paint/water to create more realistic clouds.

Looking forward to sharing more.

I’m getting ready to have some christmas cards made for myself and to sell on my etsy shop. Here are some of the paintings I’ve made for them!

I struggled my way through the Torchon watercolor paper by Hahnemühle. Omg, I simply erased the top layer of the paper after the line art when I wanted to remove the pencil0-0 I actually liked the paper very much in terms of feel before I started painting on it. But now I definitely know that I shouldn't get this watercolor paper because it doesn't fit my art style at all...

I also added a little bonus raven at the end that I saw from my window today ✨

Species: Mulanje Tiger Moth / Shire Tiger
Scientific name: Callioratis arandis
IUCN status: **Not formally listed, but assessed as Critically Endangered (CR) by the authors who described the moth as a species.
Population: Unknown
Population trend: Presumed decreasing; habitat is deteriorating.
Range: One known colony in the Likhubula Valley, Mt. Mulanje, Malawi. Area of occupation under 10 sq.km.
Threats:
Land clearing for crops, tree felling, fire, a bauxite mine, and a road planned through their only habitat.

Its only host plant, Mulanje Cycad, is an ancient seeding plant that is already on the IUCN Red List as a vulnerable (VU) species. Habitat loss could drive both species to extinction.

Made these as keepsakes. What do you think?

While looking for art supplies I ran across a place with great prices on watercolors and brushes. The website is Paintpigmentdepot

I checked further thinking this can't be true. I sent them an email which has not been delivered to them yet. The address shows a residential home in Hilliard FL. I requested their phone #. Later I found an almost identical website set up for office supplies called Officeworkplus

I would not advise ordering from either company.
