My corner of the world (learning watercolor by brute force)
I like how simple it is and how it can be a few different things.

I love how even simple works of art can evoke thoughts and emotions and imagination in the viewer. In a sense, the viewer needs to be more creative than the creator for a piece of art to succeed.
Nice!
Mind sharing your techniques/tools/paper/etc/etc!?
I see (quite) dry watercolour (that's what I like doing the most so maybe I'm just dreaming) and some white paint, I guess like Titan white as it's quite opaque!
Cheers
Thank you. I’m very glad you like the painting , but honestly it’s just me trying to paint something without exactly knowing how to. It’s a 200gsm water color paper, and literally the cheapest box of 15 watercolor cakes I could find. I used a brush pen that holds water (which might explain how dry the colors are). I like dry watercolor too, as it makes the colors pop more.
Well that's how you do it, check out stuff and find what you like.
Started out roughly the same like 2-3 years ago :-)
I also like to have the possibility to have "popping" colors and I found Pebeo water colors "encre aquarelle" (literally watercolor ink), you'd just need the 3 base ones (cyan, magenta, yellow) to make any colour except grey, so a grey is good too :-)
And they sure pop!
So what's the white :-) ?
