Hello everyone. I wasn't able to get a video for this one because I did it outside and don't really have a setup (yet?) to get good footage while I paint outdoors. Maybe that will change in the future :D !

Thank you for commenting, upvoting and taking the time to look. Love ya!

lovely! I am trying to learn some technique for watercolors, so I'm studying this very closely :-)

I always work light to dark for watercolor. I try to squint my eyes to isolate where the lightest lights are and slowly open them until I can see what kind of transitions I should try for. Obviously with water it will get away from you and drying times/when to make use of damp paper will be an experiment and a challenge every time. But, it's a lot of fun and you can get really cool effects from the medium, I really enjoy working with them!

I post a video every couple days with a timelapse (usually a minute long). If you were looking to see how I go about layering give my blog a look through! You might glean some more out of it :)

Keep painting, thanks for stopping by!

I can't wait to watch your videos! What a cool thing to do. I love seeing people's process when they work. Like stepping behind the curtain! Thank you!

Beautiful and amazing! So light and foggy, like ghost town. ;)

Thank you :)

Sir, do you ever participate in the exhibitions?

Which ones? Here on steemit? I'm still building up my collection and framing them slowly but surely. I'm hoping to be able to show my work in cafe nearby soon, after I get up to about 20 pieces. I'm up to 12, so I'm getting very close!
