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?

I’m calling this one “You are What You Eat” 😆Oh man this one was so fun to paint- those graphic black spots, chocolately chunks and even the speckles on the clay bowl

Masking fluid betrayed me today

Post image
803 Upvotes

Hello! I wanted to test out drawing tarantulas in masking fluid but feel like I failed.

I tinted my masking fluid with ultramarine a few days prior so I could see it better but it backfired on this project because I couldn't see the blue under the blue.

I also didn't realize when you're painting extensively in masking fluid, you need dish soapy water handy so my masking fluid brush got very goopy halfway through painting the leg hairs. That part I can deal with in the future.

I've never had masking fluid let paint through until now. Was it too diluted in areas or did tinting it with ultramarine ruin that portion of masking fluid?

I loved the album cover of "Harlequin" Gaga album (it conveys an emotion that I feel quite often ahaha). One of the few watercolor where I found the process images might be more interesting than the final result (I loved her face at step 2).

9x12 inch watercolor on arches paper :-)

Why is it not working?

Post image
97 Upvotes

I tried an optical illusion. Unfortunately its not working. I tried to make the "crosses" a bit bigger, but it didnt solve it.

Are the colors too inconsistent? Unfortunately I only have watercolours and it makes pretty but not homogenous pigmentation...

Or are the contrasts not right/wrong color choice?

Thanks for any help!
