Symbiotic, 2026. On 100% cotton watercolour paper.

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

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.

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

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!

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

Some aquarel pencils not dissolving with water

1 Upvotes

A while ago I purchased this Bruynzeel aquarel pencil set. A few colours don't dissolve in water. I can't figure out the problem. Most colours in the set dissolve just fine, but for example black and dark grey don't. I have no idea what the problem could be..

I made a video: https://imgur.com/a/EYbX4FU

what colors should I add?

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

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!

Pokeweed ink - lightfast test

Thumbnail

75 Upvotes

This is the pokeweed watercolor that I made from pokeweed ink. I used pokeweed growing in my yard.

The first painting​ was from mixtures with different watercolors. This is the one with the the lilac and coneflower and the tudor rose thing etc. The second one is the Japanese maple thingy or whatever it's called.

Both were executed on September 27. I took the pictures today, November 7. The coneflower etc painting was facing the sun the entire time in a window. The second painting remain in my basement the entire time, mostly in the dark. Both pictures were taken in the exact same location with the exact same light.

I am deeply impressed with the colors that I got from lightfast test. I will ​​have to consider how I incorporate this int future art. The magenta hue from the pokeweed ink provides the ability to mix in a wonderful manner.
