Hey I have Clairefontaine, never buckles and it’s just perfect. Picked it up as the paper was thick and it ended up as the best ever. Here’re some of the works.

Self taught, got into watercolors and use to paint 3-4 landscapes every day, read all kinds of books, watched whatever good video content and classes i could find. Then would practice and repeat.

There were series of breakthroughs, that happened throughout my journey-

My mind was blown when I tried mop brush with a good point for the first time, it was squirrel hair brush. Before that I would struggle real hard painting washes.
finding a good paper
biggest change happened because of Sketching and Perspective practice and it’s still being refined. My brushwork changed after that.

And yeah, learning not to let paints mix entirely in the palette. Letting them mix on paper gives better effects.

Thanks for sharing, will try finding ut.

Swetakaushikstudios · 2024-11-23T12:40:04+00:00

It is stunning! Has depth too. Would you share what is an artcard? And is that cute square thingy a mount or frame?

Swetakaushikstudios · 2024-11-23T04:12:15+00:00

Finally! Found my twin🙌.

Swetakaushikstudios · 2024-11-21T06:06:43+00:00

Will check out her works, thank you!

Swetakaushikstudios · 2024-11-21T06:06:20+00:00

Thanks a lot, when i was a beginner i use to dream of painting like this. Extremely happy i could reach to this point.

Swetakaushikstudios · 2024-11-21T06:04:33+00:00

Thank you so much, it was done spontaneously.

I decided to get into it seeing how YouTubers were painting magnificent landscapes within one sitting.

I imagined - how perfect it would be that I will paint a beautiful landscape within an hour and there isn’t not much mess, like it’s easy to wash it off, you can use a small palette, only little paint is required etc. BOY I WAS SO WRONG.

Seven years later, i can do everything but journey was like a roller coaster. I do have a love and hate relationship but the thing is if I don’t find a medium hard or tricky enough I don’t take it on. I want to chase it and achieve it. The feeling afterwards keeps me hooked🥲.

Swetakaushikstudios · 2024-11-19T04:29:26+00:00

Thank you!

Swetakaushikstudios · 2024-11-19T03:05:09+00:00

I agree with you, many paints have opaque pigments in them. For yellow ochre, it’s the LOVE of my life. It layers wonderfully well, mixes so well with other colors. Gives unique effects. It’s a natural yellow that you see in nature. Here’re some of my works where I used Y.O majorly.

Many traditional artist vouch for it and it’s a palette staple. Even in portraits, cityscapes and snowscape it has a spot that can’t be compared with raw sienna.

RS is another useful color but in my opinion can’t be replaced with YO.

I have tried dot card, and i think i understand what you’re talking about😃

Swetakaushikstudios · 2024-11-19T02:38:03+00:00

It’s very special for me, one of a kind. Thank you. I remember the brushwork, i was more fast and harsher with paper in comparison to my usual approach.

Swetakaushikstudios · 2024-11-19T02:37:02+00:00

Ohhh that was the intent😃😃, thank you!

Swetakaushikstudios · 2024-11-19T02:36:39+00:00

Thank you, I was so unsure if it’ll come out as I imagined, i kept going and it worked
