I painted this!

I’ve never used watercolor to paint or paint in general since I was a little kid. I am so proud of how this looks lol. But I don’t know what do people usually do with finished watercolor paintings? Any suggestions on what to paint next? It has to be simple lol I’ve never done this #painting #halloween #art

... Read moreWatercolor painting is a delightful medium known for its vibrant colors and fluidity. Beginners often explore various techniques, such as wet-on-wet and dry brush, to enhance their skills. If you're new like me, consider starting with simple subjects such as flowers, landscapes, or abstract designs that allow you to express creativity without feeling overwhelmed. After completing your piece, think about how you want to display it. Options include framing, creating a personalized greeting card, or even gifting it to a friend. Many artists also share their work online, joining communities that celebrate creativity and encourage feedback. Make sure to use social media hashtags like #watercolorart and #artcommunity to connect with others. Lastly, don’t hesitate to ask for advice from experienced artists; their insights can provide valuable guidance on techniques and subject matter. Whether you’re painting for fun or considering a more serious pursuit, enjoy the process, and remember that each stroke is a step towards improving your craft!

Why I painted this oak Dresser!?! It took me 3 days, 2 different paint removers, and a little back pain to strip ONLY the top! Just IMAGINE how much the rest of the piece would take... 😩 I love refinishing pieces but if it's going to cost my sanity, bring out the paint gun!!🤣 #refunishe
