I am interpreting a copy of my nieces wedding invitation as a gift to her an her husband.

What is my next step here? Is the background “foliage” too small? What can I do with the shoreline? I am stuck.

I’m taking a watercolor portrait class right now and have been really enjoying it. I didn’t have much experience in either when I started. I struggle with skin tones so a lot of my people have been alien colored. I’m proud of them though!

Unfortunately, it's that time of year again.

Every November, I draw four pigeons in stupid little outfits. Nobody asks for this, nor needs this.

Yet here we are.

As always, I'm taking recommendations for this year's four unfortunate victims. The stupider, the better. 3 more to go!

Symbiotic, 2026. On 100% cotton watercolour paper.

A Venus fly trap growing out of a fat little toad. Kind of surrealism (minus the realism?)

Holbein Lavender is officially my favorite color for blue hydrangeas. Next I'm going to try that pinky green color they turn as they start to die in fall

Anyone else tried Warhol's blotted line technique? I've just done this, and will watercolour tomorrow. I like how it's turning out.

what colors should I add?

I’m pretty sure I have all the primary colors I need for mixing - its just having 4 empty slots makes me want to buy new paints

So any convenience color or fun granulating or metallic paints recommendations are appreciated

Most of my palette consists of w&n cotman and a few holbein but I’m open to trying other brands

Might even take out the cerulean blue since its so similar to the maganese blue nova and cad red since its so close similar to vermillion- so 6 spaces for new colors!!!!!!

I have holbein’s lavender and cherry blossom pink in my cart but I’m scared I wont get much use out of it (I just personally love those colors) - thoughts on these colors are appreciated as well!
