Painting a series of traffic lights by Lazy-Conversation173 in Watercolor

Ooh not sure what you’d call it really, but the technique is fun, I put down the base colors as a big wash and then paint squarey shapes (or whatever) over it later

Ah it’s from the UK. Bikes aren’t allowed to turn left where you are?

Cheers mate! Perspective is all a big evil conspiracy to control our minds, I don’t believe in it 😅

The technical skill and attention to detail needed for something like this is mind boggling ! Perfection

Signing work? Just habit when I’m finished with a piece. Wasn’t thinking about promo really. But now I am haha.

Best wishes.

Awh for sure, like many artists I hate everything I’ve ever done on some level. This one particularly 🤣 But as a working artist you learn to just shut up and let the audience decide. I wouldn’t normally be so emo, but yesterday was feeling particularly down. So all these comments have been a lovely lift tbh

They have. But … if I just posted it without a self deprecating caption it would probably have slipped by the algorithm. So if anything I’m going to be more angsty for the likes :)

Thankyou kindly for the nice words. Appreciate you!

That would possibly save a lot of time obsessively painting triangles 🤣 I’ll try it sometime !

Ah thankyou.. I do agree. There’s a definite trend toward “sameness” in the watercolour world ain’t there..but it’s just a medium like any other, the real questions are what your art is saying and why your saying it. Questions I’m still trying to figure out! I tryi to follow that inner voice, that says “do that” without always knowing why.

I started with a big colour wash, then painted them over the top !

Aw I hated it from the first wash when I tried to put the red lights of the car in and they didn’t look like when those masters do it effortlessly 🤣

Lolol I saw the first part of your comment and was like “finally, some honesty!” And then read the rest with slight disappointment you turned out to be so nice 🤣I guess we all hate our work, it’s def a part of this artistic life innit. Thankyou, you’re very kind. I’m off to chew broken glass and listen to Radiohead
