This one below is with the sellotape around it, I kind of like the messy effect under the sellotape:

Omg! Watercolors are tough to paint with and you created that? Amazing! You have more artistic talent going for you than you realize.

Kudos on a good job. I love it.

Thanks. Thing is I want to be the best watercolour artist in the world, like one of them, like a natural.

But this painting took me hours, and plus lots of coffee which I am trying to give up. and it is still not up to the standard that I want

So,I was considering giving up today but after this painting I feel like with time I might improve.

not sure if I can afford to check because watercolour painting stuff is expensive,

I might give it a while longer to decide :slight_smile:

You got this. Do you use artist or student grade paints?

Thanks, :slight_smile: I have some artist grade ones and some student grade ones.

Fortunately the student grade ones are not bad! so I will continue getting those.

but the thing is that paintbrushes are expensive, I have artist grade ones,so when they wear out I would have to spend a mini fortune,trying to look after them as best as I can but there is only so much one can do.

Do you do any form of painting or drawing?

Noip! Just photography on a super part time basis. Mostly low light and long exposure stuff.

I’d like to try oils but I’m already into so much stuff. I need to take it easy instead of being overwhelmed.

yea, don’t overwhelm yourself,but if you are really curious you could always try out an oil painting class just to see :),if you have them where you are

oils are beautiful!! but they are so much effort to clean up and stain everything. so I prefer watercolour

I used to practice Sumi-e. If I were to try art again that is what I would do.

At least you only need to buy one colour for that :smiley:, saves on the cash.
