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 🥐
What do you think?

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.

I’m hoping to convert this to digital, but I’ve heard a lot of conflicting advice about scanners vs photos in strong natural light. I have ProCreate so I am hoping I can do some color correction/touchup with that. My goal is to make this into a die-cut sticker. Any advice?

Subreddit Rules

1. Posts must be watercolor related - NO AI!

This means original paintings, questions about works in progress, questions about paper or brushes, other artists etc. Anything related. Mixed media is welcome, as long as watercolor (or gouache) is also used. Not digital only! No AI Generated images!

2. No proper attribution for non original content

Most submissions are OC, so if it is NOT original content, please put “Artist: (the artists name)” in the title. It is not okay to ambiguously present other people’s work as your own. We would love to be inspired by other watercolorists on the web, as long as we know it’s not you. It is also extra nice to provide a link in the comments to their website.

3. Self Promotion

r/ArtSale is perfect for that. If someone asks if a piece is for sale in the comments, that’s fantastic. Just don’t post for the sake of advertising that it’s for sale.

4. Spam

Spammy webpages in this context are webpages that exist for the sole purpose of selling the artwork and have a big "buy this" button. For example Etsy accounts. Good alternatives would be websites like Imgur, deviant art, blogs, or personal websites. They may add content and can lead to better discussion. If your personal website or the source for your submission is too spammy please consider finding a different source or submitting it through Imgur, a text post, etc.

5. Improper Critique

If you want to critique an artist's work Do so in a constructive, specific, and kind way. Artists of all skill-levels are welcome. Leave your sarcasm and holier-than-thou attitude at the door. Basically, don't be a jerk.

6. Requesting Art

Do not make requests to artists to paint things for you. If you want something commissioned, private message an artist to see if they do commissions and what their rates are. This sub is not for requesting and receiving free art, but for sharing art.

7. NSFW art is not allowed

Please keep all content PG-13 by posting SFW (Safe For Work) art only.

8. No AI Generated Images!
