RegiVAPOR Here's my latest piece! These creatures are called "ry'el" or "hatmen" and they usually live in a place that's mostly devoid of color. These two are vacationing outside their homeland of Achromatopia. Is anyone else here a fan of watercolor?
Lumeinshin RegiVAPOR Provided you use the right paper for it watercolours are quite fun. I remember when I was in school a highlight was painting a MEAN coconut in watercolour. I was super pleased with the shading i'd done on it, i'd managed to make it look a little fuzzy too. It probably wasnt actually that good but i was happy with it
Fimm RegiVAPOR I hate watercoloring so much it's unreal, only because I'm so bad at it. But you're great
Fantasy I've only done watercoloring in elementary school with those paints that are like solid discs until you get them a little wet. I never made anything good and I'm going to blame the tools I was given. Not an artist but those paints looked bad unless you were making a wad of pastel colors or a brown clump.
RegiVAPOR Fantasy oh yeah, I couldn't get anything decent out of those cheap sets. It wasn't until I went to a college level class that I really learned to do watercolor with real watercolors.
gingermilk I haven't touched watercolor for a long time and these are all I have for now. To be precise I did them with gansai rather than watercolor, but they are similar enough.
Doc I’m attempting to get into watercolors. I started some months ago and am just doing it on and off. I’m awful at it, yet it’s been very fun and relaxing. I have an inkling of a feeling that I am putting the paint onto the paper wrong. I can put it into water on the pan first, but that makes the paper curl up after a lot of layers. I can put the paint directly onto the paper. That gives good colors and doesn’t mess with the paper. I feel like it defeats the purpose of watercolors too. I could use acrylic for the same effect and easier. Anyways, here are a few paintings I have done. The mushroom was from me practicing without a guide. The other two are from using a book as help.
