yrrwischI'm also always fond of nice <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/paintings?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#paintings</a> . The combination of the organic behaviour of <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/aquarell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aquarell</a> and the strict lines of <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/buildings?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#buildings</a> is a bit difficult sometimes though. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolourchallenge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolourchallenge</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/artist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/painting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#painting</a>
yrrwischI really want to find the time to get back to painting some bigger <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/aquarell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aquarell</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/paintings?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#paintings</a> again... <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/landscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#landscape</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/landscapepainting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#landscapepainting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/painting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#painting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/artist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/pixelfedart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pixelfedart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolours?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolours</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolourchallenge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolourchallenge</a>

yrrwischLots and lots of <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/aquarell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aquarell</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/paintings?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#paintings</a> of forests especially! I just LOVE <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/painting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#painting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/trees?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trees</a>!<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolourchallenge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolourchallenge</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/forest?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forest</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/forestpainting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forestpainting</a>
yrrwischOne of my favourite <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/forest?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forest</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/aquarell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aquarell</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/paintings?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#paintings</a> . <br> <br> It has the backlighting / silhouettes, but doesn't rely on it too much and doesn't go too deep into the blacks. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolourchallenge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolourchallenge</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/artist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artist</a>
yrrwischAnd finally that all led to a range of <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/aquarell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aquarell</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/paintings?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#paintings</a> .<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolourchallenge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolourchallenge</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolors?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolors</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/forest?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forest</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/forestpainting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forestpainting</a>
yrrwischBut I don't only like working with desaturated color palettes, I LOVE vibrant colors occasionally and therefore work with my big <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> set. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/painting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#painting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolourchallenge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolourchallenge</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/aquarell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aquarell</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/auroraborealis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#auroraborealis</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/silhouettes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#silhouettes</a>
yrrwischI found another <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/bookmark?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookmark</a>! Nice to go through all works again for this and both inspring and uplifting!

yrrwischIf you're saying one colour is not enough, I have this one, where I used TWO colours!<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolourchallenge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolourchallenge</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolours?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolours</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/duochrome?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#duochrome</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/landscapepainting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#landscapepainting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/paintingchallenge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#paintingchallenge</a>
yrrwischAnd another movie based <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/bookmark?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookmark</a>. <br> <br> Yes, that was a while ago now, I realize that...

yrrwischThe nice thing about the <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/bookmark?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookmark</a> format is also, that you can <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/paint?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#paint</a> whereever you go. At least, if you have a little tin for your <a href="https://pixelfed.art/discover/tags/watercolours?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#watercolours</a> like I do.

Averil<p>Better late than never, but at the end of this long (but still too short) weekend I finally managed to get some watercolors down... the page has some more sketches with light washes but those are for another day.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/CuratorPrompts148" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CuratorPrompts148</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/WatercolourChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WatercolourChallenge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/watercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>watercolor</span></a></p>
Ian Jago @ Art<p>The other thing about this <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/WatercolourChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WatercolourChallenge</span></a>, is that there is no time to be swapping brushes, mixing lots of colours etc. There’s time for one brush and three or four colours so you have to choose wisely.</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.art/@WatercolourCurator" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>WatercolourCurator</span></a></span> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Watercolour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Watercolour</span></a></p>
