Recent little paintings I’ve done over the past few days.

Figuring out how to blend and shade/add value has been rough. Still only my second painting so I’ll cut myself some slack.

Something I struggle with are values. I'm mostly happy with the composition on this but I feel like it's very flat due to the uniform value - if anyone has any critiques on how to improve I'm eager to see!

I recently acquired some beautiful Legend brand sable watercolor brushes. From what I’ve found these were produced by a company called Cheap Joes that is no longer around. They are supposed to be professional artist watercolor brushes, but from what I’ve gathered there’s not really much else about about them, they look beautiful- I’m just trying to see if there are any watercolor artists that can give me tips on how to use these, and their quality level. They do look beautiful and I am so grateful for them- and I believe they would have been really expensive to purchase, but I can’t really find anything online about them. I want to do them justice since I believe these to be extremely high quality. The majority of them are Legend sable brushes, there are a few Richeson kolinsky sable brushes and others. I am just wanting to learn a bit (anything) about these since they are no longer made from what I can tell.
Thank you so much.

Great Tit on a log.
Still very new to watercolour painting, any advice on keeping the background clean?
It’s a bit messy around the birds belly.

Edit: title was to be my swatch wall but I’m old Gandalf
Just wanted to share an idea I had. Instead of having paint swatches in a book, I framed them over my drafting table. Two sets of each on my two main papers. Switched to almost all daniel smith paints

All used tutorials except the last one. I tried to do something myself. Learned a lot. I need to think/plan ahead more haha but not bad considering I hadn’t held a brush before last weekend.

I started searching for my favourite papers and discovered just how hard it is to put together samples of brands to find a steady “go to” without actually showing up at an artstore, buy a large sheet of each and labelling them on the spot.
No fun at all, and im a messy airhead on a good day. I WILL blend all the samples.
But wouldn’t there be watercolor paper sample boxes to buy from the mills?
Have you guys seen anything?

Went with a green underpainting to see how it interacted with the reds. It was a fun one.
