Desert and cacti – 1st painting with watercolor

My first try with watercolor painting was about getting familiar with the specal paper and some advices I’ve seen in youtube tutorials. It’s funny to note – 10m youtube videos tought me more of the technique than more of my teachers in the elementary school during more years…

I’ve used aqua brushes I’ve just received from China. They are great! The biggest challange was to realise I need to screw them the opposite way 🙂 .

Magical tree – acrylic painting

I’ve found a really nice youtube tutorial* using q-tips as brushes, here is how it turned out:

I’ve grabbed more paint than I needed, so I’ve ended up doing a 2nd version of the same picture, this time on A4 paper. It’s bigger and different material, so it was a good practice after all 🙂
