Tiny watercolor paintings from today's stream

Tiny watercolor painting of some pine trees in front of a lake that is lined by multiple layers of hills. 3 birds are flying in the sky. The colors are mostly blueish for the scene

I swapped out quin gold for new gamboge. I like this better. I would still wish for ultramarine instead of Paynes gray though :)

I learned recently about the Zorn palette for oils and I thought I would try it using watercolor. I picked quin gold instead of yellow so it doesn't get vibrant oranges. And I picked Paynes gray instead of black. But then watercolor doesn't mix the same way.

I genuinely enjoy taking close up pictures of grass. It's simple and complex at the same time, common but also unexpected to look at it at close up.

Another tiny watercolor painting. This is a repeat of a composition I did recently as a digital painting. Hard to say which turned out better, they both have different charm. bsky.app/profile/kale...

I'm really happy with this one. Chery Blossom Path, miniature #watercolor painting. I changed up how I photograph them too, and I think that worked out well.

Miniature watercolor, bright pink cherry blossom trees line a path, during golden hour with the sun shining directly from the left of the view. Cool shadows contrast the golden highlights. The path goes straight into the distance of the painting.

Another tiny watercolor. An egret flying across marshlands. Google lens says egret on the ref photo, but it also reminds me of herons and cranes. #watercolor

A great egret flying across desaturated marshlands on a hazy day. It appears that morning sun illuminates the egrets back and wings in warm light with the neck and front a cool blue shadow. Tiny watercolor painting.

Testing pink eraser stamps … I’ve been slowly picking up some nicer carving tools. I think these are working!

Digital art in #procreate #procreateartist ... I'll get back to watercolor soon. I've had a busy couple of weeks at work and that project is coming to a close.

Mixing. This is the first time I've done a big commission and I needed a lot of darks, so I just squeezed tube colors on a mixing plate. This worked well! I thought it was kind of pretty so I decided to share.

Mixing plate with Prussian blue, Ultramarine blue, Quinacridone Rose, Hansa yellow, and burnt sienna watercolor paints for mixing dark colors. A dreamt purply mix is visible in the middle.

1st painting in my new sketchbook. #watercolor and #gouache ... I bought an unfamiliar brand of paper. This is Fabriano, 140lb (300 gsm) and I think hot press? I wasn't used to how the colors worked, so I decided to just use gouache rather than trying to get smooth blends and crisp brush strokes.

Watercolor and gouache painting of trees on a hill, backlit by the sun, so that it casts dark shadows and bright highlights. It's early spring so all the leaves are very bright green.

I've been thinking about making a watercolor sketchbook for a year, even bought all the supplies. I didn't have a way to make it that fits my skill level until the day before Christmas when I found this video. Now I have my own "secret belgian" watercolor sketchbook! www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-oc...

The ref photo of this bluebird looked so sassy. I was trying out the graphtint pencils some more and also testing some pastelmat. I really don't think pastelmat is a good choice for water media.

Sweet little freehand eastern bluebird. Testing out my new Derwent Graphtint pencils. I think they will be included in my workflow. Pencil included for scale.
