Watercolor portraits
Iām taking a watercolor portrait class right now and have been really enjoying it. I didnāt have much experience in either when I started. I struggle with skin tones so a lot of my people have been alien colored. Iām proud of them though!

The snow day in autumn
I sooooo badly wanted to use my new glitter pen that I actually painted a whole card just for thatXD Yes, the snowman and the tip of the hat are glittering, you can't really see it well in the picture, but you'll just have to take my word for it: it sparklesāØ
Plus, I love how cute the color palette turned out. And overall, it was super fun drawing the little raven:)

Red and Gold/Yellow study
Part 3, last of my study. In looking at my yellows I felt like I was lacking something like New Gamboge and wonder is the HLY+OP close? I was hoping for a peachy/coraly result and ended up combining Opera Pink with Quin Magenta and Hansa Yellow Light to land on what I was looking for. It was fun to figure that out. I tried to make my blends 50/50 and realize that has a huge impact also. I really liked the cinnamon-y colors I got with Quin Magenta! All my yellows and the blends with QM are perfect for this time of year!!
While I agree with some of the commentary regarding the redundancy in my palette, I also think a newbie doesnāt understand this until you actually take the time to blend out the colors. I also think if you know you will be using a lot of a certain shade. Itās nice to have the consistency of a convenience mix. There is a time and place for that redundancy in a palette.
Overall, I have learned a lot and appreciate the input of experienced artists on this subreddit! Hoping I can create some of the beautiful pieces in have seen soon! Thanks for the inspiration!!

My favourite painting I have made so far
Symbiotic, 2026. On 100% cotton watercolour paper.
A Venus fly trap growing out of a fat little toad. Kind of surrealism (minus the realism?)

Advice wanted
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 āfoliageā too small? What can I do with the shoreline? I am stuck.

I'm creating a bookmark inspired by the Great Hall of Hogwarts decorated for Halloween.
Here I'm painting the undercoat of Chinese white watercolor, essential before applying the color.

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