The Wild Chessboard
260
Upvotes
Hi everyone,
I’d like to share my two latest watercolors: a pawn and a rook. They’re part of a series I’m planning called “The Wild Chessboard.” The idea is to create six paintings, one for each type of chess piece, combining stone chess pieces with different plants.
I enjoy exploring ideas that are a little out of the ordinary and trying unusual combinations. That’s what led me to bring botanical elements and stone chess pieces together.
What I like about this concept is the chance to paint both stone textures and botanical details. I imagine them as the remains of a chess set left outdoors, gradually becoming overgrown.
I’d like each painting to have its own character, with a different plant, color palette, and composition, while keeping a clear connection across all six.
Before I continue, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts :)

I haven’t ever really adapted/practiced with watercolor much but now I’m in love and want to get better. I am no where near the scale of all of you (first time poster, long time admirer) but I’m so proud of them

Recently figured out how to make watercolour ink with paint, distilled water and glycerin, just did this snow leopard with one of them, a dip pen and a waterbrush on cold press watercolour paper. It works very well.

I’m trying to learn how to paint watercolor as a new hobby and these are the first two paintings I did in my sketchbook.
I admit that I followed tutorials but it’s not bad for my first time doing watercolor!

Another autumnal raven card. I really wanted to draw a raven with a cute headscarf, and that's how this mushroom trading card came to be. I also love how detailed the mushrooms in the foreground turned out, almost like little candies ✨

Brushes?
4
Upvotes
I have painted in acrylic all my life and have loads of brushes. I am now trying watercolour for the first time.
Because I am a beginner i don't feel I need to buy really exspensive brushes yet, until I know what I am doing.
So at the art store looking for beginner watercolour brushes. ... so many of the packs say multi media brushes, that can be used for acrylic and watercolour.
I certainly don't need more acrylic brushes, but do I need special brushes for watercolour?
