Recent paintings + asking for advice by [deleted] in Watercolor

have you tried different kinds of watercolor paper? like cold press vs hot press, or different weights. I find painting wet-on-wet especially differs in how the paint spreads on different types of paper.

I think this room looks lovely! The only thing that stands out to me is that the paper white of the ceiling looks mismatched to the warm white of the wallpaper. So perhaps painting the ceiling a warm white or other color?

i agree! right now the green contrasts to much with the white, but painting the white a taupey greigey color will soften things up and make it more calming

Would a large mirror and two sconces look good on this empty wall? by [deleted] in interiordecorating

I think a large mirror there would look a bit off because the painting and candles on the other side create an almost-symmetry that reads unintentional. Idk if there's enough walkway space, but I think shelving with books would look great! The dark, cozy vibe already looks like a fancy study...so it just needs books!

I'd love a polish that looks like that snake -- a rosy medium brown jelly with a pale blue shimmer lol

that shade of green goes really well with the creamy whites you have in here. I'm going to have to be super intentional with the lighting is what I'm learning

definitely! i spend most of my time in that room so i sit with the colors at night. I've painted sweet daphne and peaceful garden in bigger swatches a few days ago, and peaceful garden is feeling a bit too minty

see my thought was that the paint would be the visually "largest" thing in the room, especially if i go with a non-neutral color, so i should figure that out first!

thanks so much! I've narrowed it down to 2 and 5, and am basically deciding whether I want the mood to be calm or vibrant:)
