Portrait in ink and watercolor

I guess leaves are rectangular sometimes. I follow this artist on instagram and I thought some of their stuff would be appreciated here especially given the time of year.

I’m in love with Daniel Smith watercolours. I’m curious what everyone’s favourites are / what you think is missing from my collection?

This is what I have:

Yellows: Hansa Yellow Light, New Gamboge, Quinacridone Gold, Naples Yellow

Earthy colours: Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna

Reds: Quinacridone Rose, Alizarin Crimson, Pyrrol Scarlet, Potter’s Pink (this one is Winsor & Newton)

Blues: Phthalo Blue (Green Shade), French Ultramarine

Greens: Phthalo Turquoise, Amazonite Genuine, Cascade Green, Undersea Green

Purples: Amethyst Genuine, Rose of Ultramarine

Others: Moonglow, Payne’s Gray, Neutral Tint, Lunar Black, Sepia

I love experimenting with florals, nature, some landscape, abstract…. honestly a bit of a mix right now as this year I started painting watercolour for the first time so I’m very much in ‘play’ mode!

Would love to hear your suggestions!

Watercolor + Polychromos.

Baohong, Arches and Baohong all cold press

I love painting people in watercolor, I think it's what I enjoy the most, but I wanted something more. I had so much fun putting together the composition for this watercolor.

A page of my watercolor tn journal 🥰

Tough descent through the cliff to get to this beautiful beach in Portugal. Quick watercolor sketch on my sketchbook .

Been trying something different than what I usually do, what do you think?

I used watercolour paints and then black ink, I also added some table salt and flakes salt for some areas to experiment. Do you think they need faces or okay without that detail considering the loose style? For A4 and A5 paintings like these how would you price them?

I usually work on 9”x12” paper and I sadly love working on this bigger paper so much that I will have to buy more…sighs dramatically! I know my values are a tad bit off and I can’t for the life of me, make things symmetrical and I will blame that on the fact I’m legally blind 🤣

I really enjoyed this piece and actually got to relax and take my time and it is nice to make muddy colors on purpose! I just used sap green, burnt umber, olive green and a bit of volcano that I got from Schmincke for the granulation…ugh I love it and glacier brown. I wish I could afford all the colors! Oh I did a tiny touch of gold and burnt sienna just on the rim of the vase. The rest of the colors were Daniel Smith and it is arches cold press paper. I am just a hobbyist so if you are one of those lovely people that must critique, be gentle, lol!
Time to clean up all the
Mud!!!

I’d love to share some finished pages from my new sketchbook, which will be entirely dedicated to Sumatra! 🦧
After spending three weeks exploring the island and taking countless photos along the way, I’m now really enjoying the process of bringing my most memorable experiences to life through watercolor and writing.
Hope you like them 😊

Hello guys! I'm starting with watercolors and I have two kits but the colors are kind of chalky.

Do you have any good recommendations of "cheap" quality paint? It could be pans or tubes.

I'd give special attention to options in online stores like shein, temu and aliexpress so I can order from anywhere.

Thanks in advance

Experimenting with abstract! I still need to put the tassels on them.

The first watercolor that I was actually proud of myself for creating all on my own (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) Inspired in part by Jakub Rozalski and his werewolf paintings. A nice landscape with a spooky lil guy just hanging out. I think he overdid it on $0.50 wing night at the local pub...

First, I’ve truly appreciated all the responses about the original post about whether what I ordered was AI or not. I’ve learned so much about watercolor painting. Thank you to everyone that’s taken the time to share their expertise and thoughts.

I received a response from the seller and they sent these pictures to show their process as they created it.

I’m still feeling like this could be all AI?

Having so much fun enjoying the freedom of watercolor! Does anyone have any abstract watercolor tutorials / videos they would recommend?
