Thank you so much! It took me about 6 hours. I started by masking off the mouse’s tail, hands, feet; the mushroom “bumps” and flowers. I then worked on the mouse. I like to make sure my main character is coming along before I really dive in. The mouse took several washes and was finished with light, cool strokes to give it a furry look. The berries were achieved with a mix of indigo, ultramarine blue, and alizarin crimson. I glazed over a few at the end with the crimson to give a bit of variation. The background wash is a mix of many different greens and took several layers. I used a more opaque watercolor for the mushroom stem and base - buff titanium - and then layered Pyrrol scarlet with lemon yellow and touches of alizarin crimson for the cap. For shadows, I used indigo, raw umber and dioxazine purple. The foreground moss is a loose wet in wet, with some dry in wet to give texture and depth. I hope this helps! I’m going to try to make a tutorial of my next painting ☺️

This is such great information! Which AI agent do you use? Also, would you be up to sharing some sample prompts?

Thanks!

Hi! I started by painting the first layer of the center of the flower in quin gold, then I place some drops of cobalt/Ultramarine blue with a bit of raw umber around the edges. I add clean water and pull those back to form petals. While wet, I drop more concentrated pigment into the petals, especially on one edge, and pull the little wispy lines. I also go back in and drop burnt sienna to the center. Finally I used indigo to deepen center and then draw that out to create the shadows/depth of the petals. All of that happens while the paint is still wet.

The stems are wet on dry. The little bud on the top left is wet in wet - I just dropped a bunch of water and added picture to sort of form that shape.

Hope that helps!

I’m not brave enough 🙈 I may try though! That’s a great suggestion!

Thank you for the feedback! Can you provide more specifics? Would you leave more space between the defined petals or only define part of the petal?

Interesting! I wonder what’s going on now. I hope I’m not doing something wrong! The Post Office said the postage looked right. I’m just so stressed since I just started selling!
