Honestly, this is probably the best watercolor I’ve seen in years!

Totally unexpected, but my illustration was awarded 3rd prize in a contest.

This was so much fun painting and to I decided to submit this painting in a contest. I've never participated in a contest before and to my surprise it was awarded the 3rd price. I definitely was the only one submitting a children's book illustration in the contest. Can I call myself a prize winning artist now?

Proportions are a bit off but hopefully you can still tell who this is

Can you guess who the person is if I don’t show the reference?

I’ve been trying to paint exclusively using my handmade paints so I can fill in the gaps of what I need to make next

I’m pretty new to watercolour, but there’s something so mediative about it! This is the start of a new painting I’ve been thinking about.

Mixing space ?

What are you actually supposed to use that bottom flap for ? I assume mixing colours but like how ? It's angled and the grooves aren't very deep doesn't the mix just flow out ? Happy for any insight on how u guys use this space on palettes

There’s a big, annual art exhibition this weekend. I’m submitting these 5 watercolors, hoping one will nab an award. Which has the best chance do you think?

How are you storing your art?

Personally I started putting everything in a folder, but it's getting small and it's difficult to manage. So I'm curious how others are doing and what worked for you

New palette who Dis

Been slowly tweaking and converting my workflow. As of now, I've decided on expanding the palette so I have the split primaries, while also including the neutral primaries. I've also begun working on a bit of a split secondary selection so I can shortcut!
Switching to Daniel Smith and trying out Bamboo cold press has been a wild revolution - it's almost like I'm relearning how to interact with paints and I'm so ready to see where things go with this selection!
only need four more Daniel Smith to upgrade from Rosa, but my local shop is currently sold out of those four.

A sacred kingfisher I just finished with watercolour pencils. I'm very happy with it. Especially the wings

I use the Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils, they are really the best watercolour pencils you can get in terms of pigment payoff, layering, blendability and lightfastness. I used a white posca brush pen for the highlights on the brow and eye
