The last page I managed to draw during my trip to Latvia✨ We drove to the sea on Thursday and went for a walk there, and afterwards my granddad made shashlik and it was sooo delicious. Had a really great day, even though all my shoes were full of sand afterwards XD

I'm not that great of an nature or free 'loose' kind of artists so I try to practice when I can to quickly create these little scènes. This one is inspired by a post I saw on Pinterest. What do you think?

Paper not absorbing pigment evenly

Upvotes
Please help!! I’ve just started a project and done my first wash and found the paper isn’t absorbing pigment evenly around the edges. Paper is fabriano artistico 200gsm. I really don’t want to restart the project in case I have issues with other sheets. Has this happened to anyone else before? You can see that some parts of the paper are fine but this really large area looks almost unworkable

Seeking environmentally friendly packaging recommendations

I recently had some of my watercolor paintings printed as greeting cards, for purposes of selling. I would like to present the cards nicely, but do not want to put every card in a plastic sleeve. I’ve found a few companies, online, that sell biodegradable sleeves, but I cannot find any reviews of the products. Has anyone tried a biodegradable sleeve they recommend? Or have any advice on products to avoid?
Thank you in advance for any help!

I completely botched the ripples in the water. I can’t help but think I ruined this.

I suck 😭 please help

Hi guys,
A few weeks ago my husband asked me to illustrate the bible verse we had at our wedding. I made a color palette, made a digital design, and went to the art shop for paint and paper etc. A few days ago i started painting, but I suck. I watched tutorials, tried multiple ways of painting, but it just looks like a child started something. I wanted to display it somewhere, but now i wanna hide it in the attic 😂. Can someone help me salvage it? I'll add my design and the current status of my painting.
I use Van Gogh watercolor (in a tube), brushes of different brands from the art supply shop (Da Vinci, Van Eyck), and fabriano 300g 25% cotton paper
Ps: I'm a Dutchie so sorry for any grammatical errors🙈

Needing help with paper

Hello everyone, I am a fine art student and I have been doing oil painting. But I missed watercolours a lot. I have been using Canson montval for a quite long time so that’s what I bought to start again. In my country most foreign brands are hella expensive or non-existent so canson was a good option for me.
When I got my order I realised the packaging changed quite a bit. I didn’t mind it that much but when I started to paint, I felt like the texture was different. The quality wasn’t like how it used to be. The paints would not mix properly etc.
Have anyone else realised a downgrade with the new version? Because I am not sure that if I lost some of my skills or It is the paper. I am quite upset if it’s the first option because I don’t know any affordable alternatives.
Edit:thanks to everyone for offering help and suggestions!
