@jennifer hey!! Thanks for much for reaching out to chat about my painting adventures. :)
Honestly, I’m so new, I’m still learning and feeling out the basic flow of the paint on different types of paper. I’ve had a ton not turn out but every day I have one that is decent enough to share. :)
I’ll do my best to explain what I was playing around with in each painting .
The first one: letting paint drip and controlling that flow. That was my primary objective. Just feel that out, let it dry, then add and mix paint to add layers dimension. I then went in with a pen and added some texture/bold lines.
Second one: I did the top of this painting first so that the colour would eventually fall down into the two ‘feet’ … so I just pushed a few colours of paint from left to right, top to bottom, wet on wet. I pre-mixed the colours because I work super slow, haha. That helped with the blend!
Hope that helps and best to you on your watercolour journey! You got this!
