Watercolor study

... Read moreWatercolor studies are a fundamental practice for many artists, allowing them to explore color interplay and refine their skills. To begin, it's essential to understand the characteristics of watercolor paint, which is known for its transparency and fluidity. One efficient method of practicing is to focus on individual techniques like wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry applications, which can create unique textures and depth in your work. Additionally, incorporating various brushes, like fan, round, and flat brushes, can help you achieve diverse effects. Always remember to use high-quality paper, as it can significantly impact the wash and texture of your final piece. Color mixing is another crucial aspect; experimenting with primary colors can lead to discovering a broad palette of secondary and tertiary colors. With consistent practice, your watercolor studies can evolve into captivating works of art that showcase your unique style and vision.

Digital watercolor study- animals
I decided to take a short break from my usual art content to work on a small study drawing animals using a digital watercolor style. I actually really like how this turned out. Since I used some brushes that I don’t normally experiment with, I wasn’t too sure how the finished piece would look,

Draw with me 👩‍🎨 statue study
The particular statue that I referenced was Giovanni Bautista Lombardi's Ruth. The actual statue has the entire figure's body, and was sold to a private collector in 2017 for 33 thousand dollars. I am once again using watercolor pencils 💕 I did a review of them on my page a while ago.

A black and white cat sleeps on a colorful blanket. Text overlays express a love for learning but a dislike for studying, listing 'books & journals', 'note-taking types', and 'goals & inspo'.
A personal library shelf displays books, tarot decks, and journals, categorized as bought, gifted, or thrifted. The bottom shows a person studying in bed with an open book and laptop.
A hand points to handwritten notes on orange and white paper, described as 'messy' and 'chicken scratch'. The notes detail study stages, digital organization, and potential burnout.
how i Study
i've always loved learning about mostly any subject. of course, it depended on the teacher; their tone, timing of speech, emphasis, and their enthusiasm. So no, I didn't absorb all the information given to me; I wasn't enthusiastic about every topic. I loved math growing up; the numb
