This was a fun little watercolor to paint and it was relatively fast to create. Below are the paints I used, and (not shown) are the Silver Black Velvet brushes I used on this mini watercolor-paper by Stonehenge. Also, remember, I’m an amateur and learning from amazing artists who offer …
I see some issues but practice, practice practice. Right!? Anyway, it’s a fun hobby and if you paint as well, leave a comment to tell me what you’re working on or what you think. I’d love to connect with some other artists and hobbyists. This was painted with Holbein watercolors on …
