Here's another piece from the series I working on this week. I think this one is one of my favorites. I am just in a happy place right now coz I seem to really nail down my vision in my paintings. Sometimes I have something in mind but I am having a hard time translating it to actual output but this time everything is just right. I am hoping to keep this kind of energy longer because it's not everyday that I am feeling this.

I don't know what's with the yellows these days but they are my favorite colors as of the moment especially the combination of Indian Yellow with Green Gold or with a mix of Burnt Sienna to make them like Quinacridone Gold. I just feel that they are giving me such a happy feeling.

Peonies are one of the most requested flowers for me to paint. My favorite medium in painting this flower is gouache because I can be more free with my strokes, not being too careful to preserve the lightest shades of petals because I can just use white for that. #peonies #gouacheflorals #gouache #gouacheart #painteveryday #expressiveflorals #loosefloral #loosestrokes #createeveryday #createnomatterwhat #dreweuropeo #calligrafikasgouacheflorals https://www.instagram.com/p/CcVSS27vH6b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One handy brush that I use for my roses is the @silverbrushltd scrubber. It helps to take out pigments that I don't want anymore or to form some of the petals of the rose. If you can get hold of this brush, it's a good addition. #arttips #roses #rosepainting #watercolour #wetonwettechnique #tutorial #expressiveflorals #expressivestrokes #reds #peach #softroses #dreweuropeo #calligrafikaswatercolors #artph #watercolor #aquarelle https://www.instagram.com/p/CbaCbQ0PL1t/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hi guys! Remember that rose reel I posted a few days ago? I already posted the real time version of it in my YouTube Channel, you may visit it at https://youtu.be/xtAaC9KYtbU I'm not able to put voice over anymore since I don't have much time for it, but I hope you'll get the gist of it.

Did this a week ago, I think... I already forgot. Sometimes I just do a lot of paintings which I am forgetting to post 😂 Anyway, here's an example practice output if I want to make my gouache to have a looser strokes. #gouacheart #gouacheflorals #gouache #gouachepainting #wildflowers #artjournal #journal #painteveryday #practicemakesprogress #createeveryday #createnomatterwhat #dreweuropeo #calligrafikasgouacheflorals https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca7HiTAP8rc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here are some @silverbrushltd brushes that I often use for watercolors & gouache works. They have different stiffness from Black Velvet, Golden Naturals to Red Sable. I use them for different purposes. The softest one is definitely the Black Velvet, I use this for initial washes, building up the shapes of the flowers. Next is the Golden Naturals, this one I use for backgrounds since it's a flat brush & lastly the Red Sable, it has a very good flex to it than I can do detailing & finalization of the elements. #roses #peach #reds #pinks #painting #florals #floralpaintings #expressiveflorals #expressivestrokes #painteveryday #brushes #everydaypractice #practicemakesprogress #createeveryday #createnomatterwhat #dreweuropeo #calligrafikaswatercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca199iOvZWC/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of my favorite technique to do is wet on wet. I just love how soft my roses look like when I do this. Of course I used my favorite brush combo which are @silverbrushltd Black Velvet oval wash, Golden Naturals flat brush & the Red Sable round brush. For me I can easily achieve the technique with these brushes. I also love how I can make the colors intense with layering. It's just so much fun playing around & studying this medium again. #roses #reds #pinks #wetonwettechnique #painteveryday #expressivestrokes #looseflorals #florals #floralpainting #layering #colors #dreweuropeo #calligrafikaswatercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/Cao9dXSvWS4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Still loving how fluid watercolor is and of course I painted my favorite subject with this medium. I also used some of the unfamous brushes of @silverbrushltd. I know that a lot of you already uses their Black Velvet line but it's also nice to try out their Quill brush, sable brush & their Golden Naturals line, which are all very good for watercolors. What about you? What other brush lines of Silver Brush do you like using and for what medium? #roses #watercolors #wetonwettechnique #spread #artjournal #journal #aquarellegallery #aquarelle #softroses #dreweuropeo #calligrafikaswatercolors https://www.instagram.com/p/Caj9OfwPHBM/?utm_medium=tumblr

In terms of watercolor painting, my favorite brushes to use are from @silverbrushltd Black Velvet oval wash partnered with either Renaissance round or the red sable round for detailing especially when I do tight paintings like this one. So why do I combine squirrel & sable brushes? Well we all know that the Black Velvets are combination of squirrel & synthetic filaments so the hair is soft & can carry loads of water or your color mixture. I need this kind of hair for the initial washes & layers then once I'm going into detail which I don't need much load I'm gonna use the sable one, it is stiffer than the squirrel one which is great for total control. I hope that this gives you an idea on how I choose my brushes but of course depending on the medium & style I am going for. #tightpainting #florals #floralpainting #details #gold #peonies #painteveryday #dreweuropeo https://www.instagram.com/p/CaZp_DwvaNJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
