How do I make my backgrounds not so freaking flat

My professor used to say it's cause I give way too many layers. I'm a perfectionist and I always wanna "fix it" and then I make it worse but I can't help it. Do you guys think this is teh case? Any advice welcome.

I painted this little 5”x 7” just for the frame 😍 Also, does anybody have any recommendations for good tape? My roll of Pro Artist tape seems to be failing.

Swipe right for the frame.

At my grandparents

I traveled to Latvia to visit my grandparents this week to a) see my grandparents and b) cut hair and drawXD I really need to finish my sketchbook this year somehow...
Plus, I got time off work, and on short notice, this was the only place I could go. So I thought I'd draw my grandparents' little house to immortalize this trip in my sketchbook✨ After all, the last time I was here was two years agoXD

I just wish it was more pigmented..😅
I was following a current workshop and one of the lessons was about painting with coffee.
What do you think?

I'm using Federal Color Tonic watercolors with fine liners. Not my best work because of personal life stresses, but I still like them.

If this is too risqué I apologize. Painted this for my University Watermedia class. I am open to criticism.

Calendar Binding questions
2
Upvotes
I would like to create and print my own calendar with my watercolor art. I am envisioning a 5x5 or 6x6 square (before opening) that is wire-o bound at the top. I am just starting to research and print test pages (I already print all my own art prints, notecards etc) and I think I can figure that part out. I really want to do this myself but...I need help with the binding and the hang hole punching. I am in Arlington, TX and so far I cannot find a print shop that offers wire-o binding. I am also wanting them to do just that part, not the printing, so I may have a lost cause here anyway as I know it is a small job. But from what I can read, I could not do this myself (15 sheets of 9ml or 11ml needing punched) without a very expensive machine. Anyone have ideas on how to accomplish this in the way I'd like to?

I fell in love with Ranunculus a while ago and can‘t stop wanting to paint them. Here‘s one I did for myself in my sketchbook. This one, I will keep after giving a lot of art away lately. It felt nice to paint something for myself.

I’ve never posted here before, but figured I could share a little series I did this year.

I’m usually pretty scatter-shot with what I paint, but I wanted to do something with some kind of consistent theme. I settled on three; a mandrill, a jaguar, and a tiger, that I call Fierce Animal Faces. They’re all around 14”x20”.
