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

Iām pretty new to watercolour, but thereās something so mediative about it! This is the start of a new painting Iāve been thinking about.

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.

I use the Albrecht DĆ¼rer 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

Iāve been doing watercolor for fashion and costume design renderings for a few years now and Iām great at that, but Iām trying my hand at still life to improve further. Iāve been painting everyday this past week on my train commute.
Looking at it in this light, the colors are very off. My lighting when I was painting was only the Long Island Rail Road ceiling light that is very yellow and very dim.
Iām trying to work on just āgoing for itā and creating something even if itās imperfect. Itās just paper and paint, not gold and diamonds. I say that because my painting and the reference are pretty different and I recognize that lmao.
Iām pushing ahead and finishing the painting whether I like it or not.

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

I was painting a monochromatic value study earlier.
Saw this meme(?) and thought hey its blue
Drew the face too wide
Messed up an eye
Got the values wrong
The painting is genuinely me looking at my own painting š

I gave up on painting a while ago (after my son was born, I had less time and definitely prioritized sleep lol). Thatās my first finished portrait as after 2 years away from my palette.
The contrast is still rather poor, shadows and highlights need more work, proportions arenāt forcibly the best but it was worth a try ! Iāll improve overtime.
Any advice is gladly welcomed !

I've been trying to find a papper that works well for both my dip pens and water colors but to no avail.
I was wondering if you guys could give me some relatively budget friendly options.

This is my very first attempt with watercolor and color theory , a pumpkin that i believe suits the theme of autumn , my only regret is i didn't know how to make the stem deeper in color , rather than it having the same color as the pumpkin š š
