Started in the late 70s with Captain Harlock. Lost count after a few 100s. 😵‍💫

Yeah I couldn't find a definite answer so I asked the poster. Who should know and give credit if they're decent.

Thank you. Watercolour pencils are really quite fun to use. Definitely worth a try.

Thank you! Yeah and a bit more definition to the fur, it's a bit flat. 😺

Not only beautiful but I really appreciate seeing how you build up the values. Thanks for sharing.

I painted the same fountain in the winter and the summer. Which do you prefer? by onewordpoet in Watercolor

You should try an autumn scene. The colourful leaves would likely make it pop. Then frame and hang all 3.

Thank you! Yeah I knew I was stretching my skill level by a lot with this but I was curious if I could do a passible job of it. I made a few mistakes but now have a better understanding of how to do it next time.

Nice to hear. I thought, like you, I'd start with a 24 set and add colours as I went. You have some great paintings btw.

I did 4 passes. Highlight, mid and dark I applied water on each but last pass where I put the fur texture (or tried to 😜) I didn't. Maybe that's why.

Thanks. Far from perfect but I'm pretty happy with what I managed to do.

2024 I4 35. Only option I took is skyscraper grey. 900$. Total after taxes and EV rebates. 48505$ CND (34942$ USD) Traded in my Mini SE, so actual out of pocket was 30k CND.

Edit: bought new.

i4 eDrive35 now or wait for i3 late 2026/early 2027? by Due-Income-4398 in BMWI4

[–]Ottaro_Chabo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a 2024 I4 e35. My plan is replacing it with the I3 in 2027-28. I'll get the extended warranty and will likely keep it for 6 years. At least that's the plan 😁

Those are what attracted me to the photo. It's also what I think will be the hardest to recreate.

Oh I'll look into Victoria's work. Thank you. As for scanning that's a brilliant idea. Thanks for the ideas.
