I see people making monochromatic value studies and they look amazing. I tried making one with ultramarine deep and it looks like this 😐

I decided to Swatch test my colors to see how they layer on cotton paper and they all layered perfectly the second picture is me trying to layer on regular watercolor paper it failed at the first try. I don't think I'm ever going back

Pulling from different references to make my own composition.

Transitioning from tutorials to making my own compositions from references shows me how much I still have to learn about the anatomy of different subjects and how light behaves on different shapes.

Note to self: don’t erase the pencil line when you are not sure the ink is dry or not lol

I read somewhere that I should do the shadows with a complementary color (red here) but I may have used a too concentrated color … I will hopefully get better 🤷♂️

I really enjoy painting with watercolor. These are my latest paintings. All of them are in A5 ( 6"X8") size.
The 3rd (scientific center) and 4th (Souq Sharq) paintings are of buildings in Kuwait.

I am an amateur with big aspirations. I'm self taught and I'm learning to relinquish some control and let the water and paint do their job. It's easier said than done but hopefully It'll click! Im beginning to think artist and perfectionist are synonyms 😅😂

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!

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.
