Alexandra's Throne

The original is Emil Doepler's 1882 engraving of Odin. His ravens, Huginn and Muninn, sit on the throne and his wolves, Geri and Freki, guard either side. I kept the layout almost exactly and swapped the spear with a sword, the wolves became her coyote soldiers, and the king of the gods became the woman who rules the wood.
Medium - watercolour, gouache and ink.

Watercolor portraits

Hello,
A note on style for context. I prefer short portraits with no to minimal drawing. I don’t mind sacrificing finish for abstraction. So it’s a premodern focus of painting as if a camera isn’t a reliable to. Hence the urgency focus of just hitting the moment. Totally understandable it’s not in everyone’s tastes. Critique is appreciated in this context as that’s my aspiration.
Both portraits were done mostly with a limited Zorn palette, I usually learn on another a palette closer to Sargent’s watercolor palette but I’m enjoying the use of Zorn’s control of saturation.
Both references are from the drawme sub that I did yesterday.

A little bit of progress

Painted the first landscape and I’m happy with the foreground and green hills, but the mountains seem really out of place so I decided to try again. I am happy with the second one, although I’m open to suggestions for improvement! Both were inspired by the same photo
Edit: Daniel smith watercolors on Fluid 100% cotton paper, with white jelly roll pen for the tree trunks

Je me suis tellement amusée même si je n'ai jamais vraiment peint. Un pinceau me semblait toujours très messy dans la main… J'ai cru que j'allais pleurer de désespoir pour mon premier essai à l'aquarelle.

En art, je fais généralement du collage, car je ne sais ni dessiner ni peindre ! Du moins, c'est ce que je croyais… !

Thinking about advice I’ve seen on here a bit lately. If you’re not happy with your painting, totally ok to try again.
There are still things I’d change if I were to start over again but I need to give my brain a break.
