Hey all! So, I’ve been looking up tutorials (or a tutorial… already ran into a problem, haha xDD) on watercolor, and there’s a lot of stuff I’m curious about. Idk if this would really go into art critique or art discussions, but I put it up here cause it features stuff I did.

So, without further adieu…

Little watercolor experiments I did, and haha well, didn’t turn out quite like I expected. I watched this (click) video on the “wet on wet” watercolor technique, and a few things stood out to me as I did so.

a) The tape I used for the border ripped the paper. xDD Do any of y’all have experience in using tape? What kind do you use?

b) Well… the paper like, got really grainy as I painted on it. I didn’t even stroke but once or twice and little pieces of page came rolling off. I used cold-pressed watercolor paper like she said, BUT it’s the Hobby Lobby brand and I was wondering if that had anything to do with it. Or, perhaps, if it had to do with the brush, OR if I just needed to know what exactly to do with my brush to keep this from happening. ? Any thoughts?

And if you could see anything that needs improving in general, I’d love to hear it!! (: Infactpleasedoireallyneedtolearn xDD

Tagging @the-fledgling-artist and @lin because they use watercolors. If you’d like for me to stop tagging you in my charades, please let me know. (:
