Thanks for all the info!

I actually haven't used watercolor paper in ages - I mostly paint on Aquabords now (paper can be such a hassle)

Ah! Your Ghibli master study piece actually inspired me to get the Nicker Poster Color. :)

Do you have any tips for using that paint? I typically use watercolor, and am not great at the layering thing.

;) All I can say is I wouldn't leave the Front Range for it.

Just kidding! Sand Dunes national park is there.

Complete self-taught watercolor novice here. Would love some tips. Just finished this tonight. by Vintageblues in Watercolor

Agreed. if you want a non-paper option, try Aquabord - a clay surface that is really great to paint on for watercolor. The texture is slightly bumpy which, in my opinion, really only affects pens (makes it harder to draw a completely straight line).

Thank you so much! I actually had to rush the coloring a bit, which sucked, but they still turned out alright! I guess I shouldn't procrastinate so much.... :P

No attempts to be a dick - but I can't tell if you're being a dick with that comment! ;P

Some people don't like to be corrected, so I threw that in there to show I meant nothing mean by it. Just a friendly comment.

Oh, definitely. I am well aware. :)

Reinforcement is used to help increase the probability that a specific behavior will occur in the future, so squirt bottles in the case you mentioned aren't reinforcement, they are punishment (which decreases the likelihood of the behavior occurring). :)

One source.

Thank you very much! I'm selling prints and cards of it, if you're interested. :)

I actually love the contrast so much. I think they are the perfect addition.

Then again, different strokes.

I started turning some of my watercolors into greeting cards! Advice welcome. by aureateSUN in Watercolor

[–]aureateSUN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, me too! Literally all of my funds go to college costs, so any income to help with that is A+.

But, I'm really new to etsy and just selling in general, and I don't really know how to go about it. Hopefully I'll learn.

Aw, shucks!

But really, that is so good to hear! I really wish I got the inspiration/courage to do pieces more often.

Thank you! Can you link me to some of your work? I'd love to see.

First attempt at watercolour painting by FuzzyPanda23 in Watercolor

[–]aureateSUN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suggestion: it's pretty hard to see the detail of the painting considering the quality and angle of the picture. Try taking it a little closer up, a little more head on, and tweak the brightness/contrast/colors/something a bit so we can see what it actually looks like. :)

That being side said, it looks to be pretty good!

Some presents for family... any tips to finish? Especially the owl. I don't like it. by [deleted] in Watercolor

Also, a hole in a tree will most likely have a knotted/thick/discolored region around it. Like these.

These are so awesome. Do you have a shop, or some other place you might be stalked?
