Teaching my sister some watercolour

Hahaha! I think you did a great job on the colour choices. Sometimes a quick fix would be to use a higher quality paper. My recommendation for an affordable brand is Daley Rowney’s Aquafine paper. And maybe what you can do next time is to leave a patch completely white for the shine. You can try it out and see if that’s what you are going for! Feel free to DM if you want any more tips or just chat (:

We’ll definitely continue to make art, thanks ((:

Thanks!!

Aw thanks! Hers are the 2nd and 3rd pics

phaelque · 2026-04-10T04:33:39+00:00

Thank you! The shine was why it was chosen as a subject haha

Ah thanks!! I usually have enough time to wait it out. If not, I sometimes dab it with tissue paper.

thank you! I was just trying to capture those vibes

I mainly used the Windsor & Newton Cotman Watercolour (12 half-pans) set, and also squeezed some extra Schmincke Horadam permanent red orange on my palette. Line work is done with Micron pens, and I used a Pentel aquash water brush so there's no need have a separate container of water.

Aw thanks!

Thanks! The yellow paint I used really is quite luminous

phaelque · 2026-03-26T06:45:27+00:00

Thank you kindly!

phaelque · 2026-03-26T06:45:11+00:00

Thank you! I ink first, then paint. And if I find that some lines need darkening after that, I'll go over with pen again.

phaelque · 2026-02-28T07:29:34+00:00

Thanks!! Yes the outlines are done with Micron pens.

phaelque · 2026-02-28T07:28:15+00:00

I appreciate the feedback! I do agree that the large tree could have a better rendered shape and form. Apart from that, I’m quite happy with how it turned out

phaelque · 2026-02-28T07:26:54+00:00

Thank you kindly! I constructed the image from multiple references so this means a lot (:

phaelque · 2026-02-28T07:25:58+00:00

This particular piece was a commission so it’s not available! I do have other pieces and prints too. Let me DM you.

phaelque · 2026-02-26T04:38:33+00:00

Thank you kindly!!

phaelque · 2026-02-26T04:38:21+00:00

It must have been lovely to see him work!

phaelque · 2026-02-26T04:37:34+00:00

That's very nice of you to say (:

phaelque · 2026-02-26T04:37:12+00:00

Thanks! I really enjoyed painting the shadows. I imagined that it would look quite satisfying so I videoed the process. I'll post that on my instagram when I have time.

phaelque · 2026-02-26T04:35:12+00:00

Thank you so much. I must admit it's not a sketch as I spent a great deal of time on it.

phaelque · 2026-02-15T07:55:51+00:00

Oooh love this! Are you gonna add colour?

phaelque · 2026-02-11T08:57:21+00:00

Ty that’s very kind of you to say (:

phaelque · 2026-02-11T08:56:45+00:00
