An experiment I did testing out different watercolour papers and mediums with a cute bird! in order: -Cold-pressed watercolour paper and watercolour paints. Cold-pressed paper allows for better layering and deeper colours. The paint seeps into the textured paper easily

-Hot-pressed paper and watercolour paint. Hot-pressed is a smooth surface watercolour paper that allows for minimal layering but great for lifting paint. The colours sit on the surface. I still have a hard time using this paper but it's so fun to experiment with

-hot-pressed paper with posca acrylic markers. I've been trying to find paper to use posca markers with that dont rip them up. Some hot pressed paper holds up better, this one is not awesome. but the smooth surface and thickness allowed for minimal layering of paint before it started pilling.

Happy place Wanted to experiment with my hot pressed paper and shadows and complimentary colours! So I made this! He's supposed to be lying in the grass under a tree, thinking as he plays with the grass. He looks slightly like he died in a forest. At least the forest bit is right I guess!

Turtle and Bird

Ein kleines Artwork für eine gute Freundin. Sie hatte mir ein Referenzbild per Handy geschickt aber leider vergessen wo es her war – sollte jemand der Style der Schildkröte bekannt vorkommen bitte unbedingt melden, ich möchte den Künstler gerne verlinken.

I used a new paper this time and had some problems working with it. I was unable to lay the background color down evenly, can you see the „pigment splots“ (lost the technical therm )? In general, it was very difficult for me to layer colors down at all. Is that the paper or just my failure? I used: *click*
