This is my very first experience with flow watercoloring and it was so much fun. The freedom, not knowing what the outcome will be, it’s amazing. I never liked rough paper and granulating paints, but now i want to go on a shopping spree.

A little to dark at the bottom, but I wanted to be fair and post all my first tries. I painted it on the roughest paper i had, Arteza premium but it was a but old and i had some problems with it. The paint i used is Smincke and for the brushes Silver Black Velvet.

So on the next pages i did some retouch to make weird spots disappear. I hope you like the out come.

For this painting i had to do it darker otherwise I would get greasy spots. Maybe because the paper is old? About 2 years, was kept in a closed cabinet. For paint Schmincke and brushes Silver Black Velvet.

Oh my god, in the begin i was in love with this one, but now it’s dry. Not so much. :(. This piece of paper had a major stain so that’s the reason of the second tree. The balance of the colors was gone after drying and it was so perfect. I don’t want to over do it, so I’m going to leave it like this. Paint Schmincke and 1 of White Nights brushes Silver Black velvet. My very first flow watercolor - image 4 - student project

Again a major greasy stain so I thought a lighthouse was fitting, but i forgot the reflection. How stupid can you be!!!!! Oké, 03:18 at night and if been awake since 07:45. I’m a chronic pain patient plus i had an accident at my sister-in-law’s home. I fel and bruised my shoulder blade and part of my spin, plus a concussion. Today is the first time i could paint again since the 4th of July.

back to the painting. The flow at the bottom didn’t want to go. What i did the paint didn’t want to go there. So i made the choice to paint it. Probably also because of the age of the paper. Paint Schmincke, White Nights brushes Princeton Neptune, Silver Black velvet

Oh my god, i love autumn. Can it be autumn please!!!! A bit of rain, nice temperatures, beautiful colors in nature. Sorry guys, i’m not a summer person.
I had a bit of a rough time with this one. The paints didn’t want to flow or just 1. So the background is just a disaster. :(. Lucky, i like tree’s!! A mix of colors full greens in different shades, green with orange, orange, and orange with yellow gold and green. Just having fun with colors.

paints: Schmincke and Muijello

brushes: Silver Black velvet and Princeton Neptune

Because i had a good day with my health today. I spend it well with painting. So if done 5 paintings in one day, because i don’t know when the next time will be, that i’ll be able to paint. Maybe tomorrow or maybe next week. That’s life, don’t feel sorry, please.

Last night i had great joy with making the last two paintings.

I’ve just North Sea sea salt for the snow effect and i wanted an entree in the mist. So I used a cumb to make some grass. This is truly my favorite and I’m going to make it in different colors. Because i have lavender from Mission Gold, I chose to make it a complete Mission Gold painting. It’s really nice paint for flowing.

The end result is not like it had to be. But I do like it. It’s a painting you could find in a picture book. Like a jungle or tropical story. I’m also a writer and this painting spoke to my writersmind.
