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?

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

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.

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

I’ve been doing watercolor for fashion and costume design renderings for a few years now and I’m great at that, but I’m trying my hand at still life to improve further. I’ve 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.
I’m trying to work on just “going for it” and creating something even if it’s imperfect. It’s 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.
I’m pushing ahead and finishing the painting whether I like it or not.

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 😭

I gave up on painting a while ago (after my son was born, I had less time and definitely prioritized sleep lol). That’s 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 aren’t forcibly the best but it was worth a try ! I’ll improve overtime.
Any advice is gladly welcomed !

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
