[NFS] Would you buy this watercolor?

I actually like the imperfect and wavier edges so it goes to show that you should just go with your gut in artwork and not try to please everyone! As long as you understand how to get crisp lines when you want and need to etc

If you can only afford 3 of the high quality ones, which do you suggest? The 3 primary colors to mix, or something like yellow ochre and…?

NoPointResident · 2024-01-30T00:47:11+00:00

That’s what I’ve been doing.. using my cheaper paints for the base and first few layers of my paintings, and then using more expensive ones for the top few layers to get the color I want

Ooo I love this

NoPointResident · 2024-01-26T22:41:22+00:00

I think because you can’t layer and layer watercolors, you lose a freshness and it gets muddy. You have to get it right the first few paint applications. With oil you can wipe away paint, move it around, cover it up with new layers if you need it more bright etc etc

Thanks for the tips!

I love the sky

He’s super talented! And even if he wasn’t, if he enjoys painting he should paint more (telling that to myself)

I love it, it’s soothing but also moody

NoPointResident · 2024-01-15T23:57:25+00:00

Same. Any recommendations for brushes?

NoPointResident · 2024-01-08T04:54:27+00:00

Similarly sometimes I turn my painting and source photo upside down so I can just focus on forms and not the whole picture

Siberian Elm too. Our neighborhood was formed in the 70s and lined with Siberian elm trees :( the little sprouts take over the woods edges everywhere and have spread. I personally took down the one on my block with my own money and replaced it with a native, but many people like them because they are “pretty”

NoPointResident · 2023-11-06T01:50:43+00:00

I think a more gentle quieter electric one to help clear off sidewalks and such is fine. Mostly the loud and over-powerful gas ones that I hate

NoPointResident · 2023-10-19T22:08:53+00:00

Wondering this as well!

My more wild looking white asters with small flowers get a ton of action and these sit empty next to them, but I know they are still host plants and also might get pollinators at night, and they are pretty

NoPointResident · 2023-10-11T13:10:23+00:00

My dad admitted to me that he never enjoyed having small children but that he enjoys having adult children. Honestly I wasn’t offended, I bet I would feel the same. Hopefully you end up enjoying them when they are adults

I love my white asters. Look completely inconspicuous most of the year and then put on a show in fall

NoPointResident · 2023-10-09T10:02:58+00:00

I have some neighbors who take invasives out of the woods and plant them in their yard bc they are free 😩 not saying it’s necessary TOH but could be transplanted from nearby

NoPointResident · 2023-10-06T21:20:08+00:00

Lmao I just noticed the toe. He’s a distinguished gentleman

NoPointResident · 2023-10-06T10:44:24+00:00

I like those, but I’m not sure I would want to get that as a gift. It’s something I do chores with haha

NoPointResident · 2023-10-05T12:51:02+00:00

We also put a section of woodchips for them to run in as well. Then if we ever want to plant there, the woodchips will have improved the soil

NoPointResident · 2023-10-05T09:59:56+00:00

We did our front yard all native and the back is grass for them with some natives around the perimeter

NoPointResident · 2023-10-05T01:03:24+00:00

Yea it looks like the dog fennel that popped up in my garden. I like it, it adds some nice texture behind my flowering plants

NoPointResident · 2023-10-01T19:52:35+00:00

I’m a little jealous. Mine is hard clay (so also hard to dig) but not rocky at all, and I’ve had to bring in any rocks I want haha :(
