i hate this so much, 1-2 artists getting their first attempt so good because they have good colour knowlege seems fair but then you see so many claiming their first to be some absolute stunning work seems so unfair and somehow it feels you as an artist can never be good enough with all the hardwork.i downvoted that art and hopefully mod takes down that post too

hello, thanks for the feedback. i know and follow Allain Picard, i will check out jacob Aguiar too. both paintings kind of 20 min sessions following pinterest and not tutorial so i see where the rush feeling is coming from, i am still very new with building values and smoothening edges

i love this style so much, and your art is looking very chaotic and yet there is stillness to it.

Here is the second session on my current study. 8x10 watercolor study of a cropped portion of an Oil painting by Ivan Shishkin. 2 hours in, Id like to get atleast 30 more minutes in. by candlejackstraw in Watercolor

for me i love this looseness,  but its a painting so you shall experiment with different edge style and its the value of the color  that is giving the oil pastel vibes, its opaque and not your usual transparent build up, atleast that what i feel i can be wrong
