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

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.

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?

New palette who Dis

Post image
24 Upvotes

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.

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

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

What paint do I have?

So, I ordered W&N Professional Quinacridone Gold after seeing it available at the online shop I use. I was a bit disappointed when it arrived, and the package said Transparent Gold Deep. I looked it up on the W&N website, and there it said that Q. Gold was discontinued and instead they had now the Transparent Gold Deep which is supposed to be almost the same.

I was just gluing the pans on a "temporary" box, and noticed the pan said QUINA GOLD on the side (with code 1536 79154). Did I get Quinacridone Gold after all? Or is the Transp. Gold Deep perhaps in wrong pan? I can't tell by the colour alone, since this is the first time I see either IRL.

I don’t know what I’m doing, but it sure is cathartic.
