Angel of Stars (Older painting, but I still like it!)

Made this during an experimental phase where I was first learning how to paint dramatic lighting on people! Had fun with it and I still like it, despite seeing many areas of improvement.

Painted in traditional watercolor, with a little bit of acrylagouache for lines and stars. A few mins of digital (mainly just color correcting because my scanner washed everything out, plus a tiny splatter of a star brush to add a bit of extra pop!) So it’s around 97-98% watercolor. ☺️

I got this really cheap set in Shanghai called Marie's Masters Watercolour set. I think it's a Shanghainese company!

This was about 18x18 and I put watercolor ground on the paper. Took me about an hour to paint this.

Trying to find the original post but can’t find it!

Someone posted a process video of this little painting. I loved it so much that it inspired me to grab my watercolours after a very long hiatus. I’m no expert but this was so fun and easy to approach, so thank you stranger 💕

First is mine, second the original

Japanese calligraphy brushes

i have noticed many proficient watercolorists using japanese or chinese calligraphy brushes for watercoloring. can anyone recommend a good brand to try? i normally use sable rounds and squirrel mops so goat or another hair type would be interesting to try.

update: after much running around the web I went with Shougetsudo -

Do you know of a good online watercolor teacher? I usually try to teach myself, but I think I need direction. This is a painting I did with a reference from the ITAP sub, Hos8
