See Red Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I got a watercolor set (everything was in tubes, which was weird since I've only ever seen watercolors in palette form) for Christmas and decided to give it a try. I tried painting a night sky over mountains and I'm not completely disappointed with it. I'm not saying watercolor is easy, but I was surprised at how decent my first attempt looks. With that said, this is nowhere near as good as some of the watercolor work a google search would turn up and improving on this and making it look more detailed and getting it anywhere near the level of that other work seems impossible to do for me, so I think watercolors are very difficult. Also, I used some relatively cheap brushes so you can see a few strands from the brush that shedded and ended up on the paper and the colors look slightly less vivid in the photo than on the actual work. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 I've found that using HDR on your phone and taking a picture with ample natural light helps with that (outside of having a full blown photography studio). This is really damn nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thanks, maybe I'll try that tomorrow! I basically watched the following video which makes working with watercolor look insanely easy and thought "I can do that!" But clearly mine doesn't compare in the slightest bit. I'll probably try again tomorrow night. I think my biggest was making mine too blended together now that I look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mings Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Finished my latest one. I'm pretty happy with how it came out and reflects the building much more than the photo I took at this vantage point was able to do.

DTConcepts Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I know this is old, but I made a painting and wanted to share. It's a simplistic painting of the mountains from my house. Kinda sloppy, but I enjoy it. 9 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 A friend of mine asked me to paint a picture of Lebron for him. Wacom tablet, Photoshop, round fan brush used in various sizes with smoothing and wet edges turned on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJD7 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 These are some paintings I've done in school this past year. I've just started painting recently, but I really love it and hope to continue to learn & improve with time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTConcepts Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Not my art, but I went to the Denver Art Museum a while back and fell in love with this piece by Lawrence Weiner. So vague, yet so meaningful. I could sit and stare at it for hours. Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Spur of the moment idea that popped into my head while at Walmart shopping for something else- Four Slate Coasters By no means is it perfect, but I like the imperfection of it. I haven’t decided if I want to put a gloss over the leaves for water protection or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
