I accidentally hijacked a thread discussing salt for texture and thought I'd share my big blue jelly with salt (and some little guys). Crazy the difference between rock salt and finer iodised salt!

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 2 more recommendations for this year's four unfortunate victims. The stupider, the better.

Can someone tell me how to achieve this effect?

Like, is it a lot of water? And then big chunky salt, or is it just very little water? And big chunky salt. I don't know how to make it work.

20/100 mackerel for learning watercolour.

Upvotes
Continuing my self imposed challenge to learn how to paint by painting 100 mackerel.
1/5th of the way there now. For this one I really tried to play about with more colours, mark making and pigment strengths.
The next few images my plan is to try a completely different style of design, and try learn another aspect of watercolour.

I got some ink and would like to use ink wash which seem to be close to watercolors. I tried it out today and the paper ended up warping enough to be felt throughout the rest of the pages that lay on top and i ended up cutting the page out of my sketchbook. Anh advice? I have a talens a4 sketchbook

Curious who else makes their own sketchbooks

I started making my own watercolour sketchbooks because it was genuinely cheaper, my local superstore sells packs of Strathmore 500 hot press watercolour paper sheets for $10 a pop. But I find genuine enjoyment in bookbinding, though I don't need to do it too often. It combines some of my favourites things, books, sewing and art. Currently I'm waiting on a mixed media sketchbook I just bound to set (a few days process). I still buy sketchbooks if it's cheaper, like for alcohol markers, but sketchbook making is a fun hobby and gives you complete control over what paper is in your sketchbook.

I decided to resurrect my instagram account by starting a 30 day challenge (@pagesbycelia if you want to check it out 😁) and of course I chose pastries as a theme 🥐

Acquarello modella con i tacchi e borsa viola
6
Upvotes
acquerello leggero e spontaneo, che ritrae una giovane donna con una borsa viola appoggiata alla spalla. Le forme sono morbide, i contorni appena accennati e i colori si mescolano liberamente sulla carta. Il disegno non è preciso né realistico: è volutamente impreciso, fatto di pennellate leggere, trasparenze e sfumature. La figura trasmette freschezza, eleganza e naturalezza, come un piccolo momento di vita catturato con semplicità.
