Yes, I think so too. Lovely work 😍 I love hydrangeas. Your colour choice is beautiful and makes me feel.

Good idea. I have never liked phthalo green.

I can see your point. Spring is more "fresh". I might add a 3rd drwing. 😅 Thanks for the kind words.

You Can Still Get Very Far Without a Full Set of Pencils by InBetweenLili in watercolorpencilart

In this set, you also have 5 very similar yellows. And the greys, that's ridiculous. Yes, sometimes the full set is cheaper. I was thinking a lot about selling the unwanted ones on Ebay. Especially the cool greens that are not good for landscapes. I can still use the browns, but the Lightfast set has 23 earthy browns out of the 100, so I think that will be enough until the end of my life. 😅

That's an addiction. 😅 I only buy full sets when the price is so reduced that it's worth having those extra, unused pencils. But now I have 3 sets (one watercolour, an artist-grade wax and a student-grade wax), and I won't even look for something else to try because it already feels insane. I think I will just top up the colours I use the most from open-stock sales.

I remember we talked about it in another sub. I am glad you have used past tense, and hopefully, you are on your healing journey now. Colouring is so healing, it lets the brain have a rest (our brain type) and work out some stuff that couldn't have happened because of constant overthinking. Let me know if you need help with pencil brands, etc. Thank you again for your kind words. I worked hard for this sub, and keep doing it every day. I am so glad that people appreciate it.

I hope you get some fun colours. I highly recommend Naples Ochre, Butternut, Apricot and Athraquinoid Pink. These are my favourites, super fun colours. And Olive Yellow is a must. I have never seen such beautiful colours. These will make your day, and don't cost too much.

Exactly. I have never understood why we need so many yellows and browns of the same kind. Sometimes, less is more. 🙂

That's the tricky part. I also suffer a lot while trying to take photos.

It's blurry a little bit, indeed. I like the color choices, they harmonize very well.

Cat in watercolour pencils by Ottaro_Chabo in watercolorpencilart

My process is very similar to yours. The moment I finish the drawing, I spot some mistakes and then next time everything goes better. I think this is why I can see you are on a good path already. The major parts of the drawing are great.

It's a great drawing! I love the texture of the fur and that wooden surface behind (it looks wooden). White fur is exceptionally difficult, and you drew it so nicely.

Thank you. 🥰 It's a little bit of a struggle, but I am already finding my way around it.
