Trying a larger painting on Arches. The paper is definitely superior; I just need to learn its ways and learn to extract as much as I can from it. Makes me realise how used one gets to certain materials, that mixing it up feels so strange...almost like starting over, but on a..

Market at dawn | Watercolour
A scene from the portside fish market in Hamburg, early in the morning. Not completely satisfied with this - I felt pretty rusty because it's been a while. But I do like the colours and it was a good warm up session!

An attempt to draw from memory: a scene I came across of two people conversing over food, while we waited for our own take-away at a restaurant. It stayed with me, etched, begging to be painted. :)

Finally tried the Arches paper (rough). I do like it very, very much. (It IS a masters' favourite, after all!)
PS: To someone who's tried both Baohong and Arches: which do you prefer?
WIP of some paper trials.

Painted the view outside my window!
The summer lilac bushes are a favourite along the bees and the butterflies. I can spend all day gazing out at the hols and the woods and the local wildlife creating a ruckus outside!

Had fun trying to capture the cast shadows on this street on a sunny morning! My goal is to get a lot looser with architecture though. :)

Used a lovely photo taken by the hubs as reference for this:
A limited palette painting testing out my new watercolor tubes. The colours used were basically the primaries and a couple of earth tones (ochre and sienna).

The second deer sculpture from the great grotto's entrance portal at the Heidelberg castle. A #watercolourpainting trying to capture 400 years of history. :)

First attempt at #pleinair #watercolourpainting from a couple of weekends ago. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience even though the painting itself got a little too overworked than I prefer because I made some mistakes with the shadows. Definitely recommend painting out in the open!
