This is beautiful! I was instantly reminded of coral when I saw the purple parts. I love the mellow color palette. The sprinkles also give the piece a magical feeling. Thank you for sharing.
I would suggest turning up the brightness on the images up a bit because they look dark - but I know that's just more work, though.
Keep the magic rolling! :)
Thank you for stopping by @doodle.danga! Cool username btw ^^
Ah yea, might be a bit darker. I try to use as much of natural lighting as possible when I take my photos so sometimes I just wait for a brighter day with some sunshine to take them, but I get what you are saying :)
Not really my first watercolor, no. But I discovered that I loved them just recently, couple of years ago, maybe a bit more. You know how sometimes at school kids are asked to paint with watercolors? Yet the paper is wrong or colors are shitty quality, I never liked them as a kid, but only now learning bit by bit the importance of good quality paper suited for watercolors making all the difference and so on.
btw.. is this your first watercolor painting? If it is, it's great.
Thank you Myst!
Omgosh!.. I think the same happened to me! It wasn't until I tried watercolor waaaay later when studying graphic design that I found out about the paper quality, which really makes a difference when absorbing it. Layers look beautiful! Have you tried gouache paint? It turned my world upside down when I did! It's basically like opaque watercolors, so you can paint brights over darks when undiluted. Sweet stuff! :) I definitely need more paint in my life! I've drawn way too much over the years, now I need color!! :D Your work is inspiring ;)
I've been away from steemit for a while now, and checking back to see if I can dip back in. It's
hard to invest a lot of time here when you are starting because you get so little back.. you know.. the money/time deal.. I didn't have a job back then and I still don't, so I'll see how that goes. Honestly, I'm personally inconsistent.. I love too many things to focus! I'm all over the place :/ I also see there's some new stuff around, so I'll have to check that out :P :) When I started I was very excited and worked intensely (burned out) like for like 3 months. I didn't feel like I moved forward - but I know I did, though. I hosted a coloring contest for a few weeks and it had 14 participants the last time. I think that was cool.. But I needed money urgently. Perhaps I can host the contest again soon. Will see :)
