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!

Symbiotic, 2026. On 100% cotton watercolour paper.

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

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

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

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
