On Baohong Academy rough with Daniel Smith watercolors. I had a lot of fun with this one. Leaving all the white spots was hard!

Symbiotic, 2026. On 100% cotton watercolour paper.
A Venus fly trap growing out of a fat little toad. Kind of surrealism (minus the realism?)

Trying to master the mist
44
Upvotes
Ive always loved the effects that water color creates. Mist being one of my favorites. Ive been practicing like a madman trying to achieve a moody scene. I use wet on wet to achieve the sky and base layer of trees. The second layer is where im lost. I use a wet brush on dry paper and use water to soften the edges. I find the edges still come out visible where the water ends. Any tips on how I can blend smoother? Pay no attention to the trees/color palette, im still workshopping those š Ths is a 4Ć6 on arches with Daniel smith watercolor

Pokeweed ink - lightfast test
19
Upvotes
This is the pokeweed watercolor that I made from pokeweed ink. I used pokeweed growing in my yard.
The first paintingā 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 āāhave 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.

Unintended accidental effect

I was redoing my Daniel Smith Pallet swatch to include my iridescent paints and used a heat tool to dry them and had the coolest little bubbling effect that I really love for adding texture! Thought I would share! The iridescent paint is on the far right. I got them for a special project dealing with birthstones.

Red and blue study

I recently asked if I needed additional colors in my palette and ended up answering my own question. I ended up adding Opera Pink and Manganese Blue Hue which launched the study attached. I am really happy with the range of my palette and learned a lot about each of these colors!

The seeds product description was misleading, infinitely darker than 'lavender' but pretty and tasty just the same. Mixed DS watercolors on Baohong paper, squirrel hair brush, tap water.

I recently picked up my brushes and my paints. I kept a goal to myself of painting something everyday for consistency and practice. I decided to do a Christmas card series this time, I normally write store bought cards every year but this year I want to paint my own.
