what better day to post this taco than on a tuesday? watercolors and micron pen

Many times when I hike in Alpine regions, I was always stunned by the beauty of those village landscapes around. Lately I had some time to paint it.

What do you think? Please comment your view and any critics and improvement tips!

Thank you!

Title pretty much says it all. I'm barely into the hobby and things are trending the right way. I'm gonna try to add more to this for some shadows etc. I also learned that one should mix more paint than you need...my wings and body aren't exactly vibing

Only a couple of days of this watercolor painting being hung on the wall and there's that..

It looks like squiggly white lines and it's spreading. I've never seen anything like this before but it has always appeared on my mixing spaces on tins and ceramics.

Could it be some kind of mold? The first picture with painted roses was hung on the wall facing it. the other side of it that's being displayed is fine.

The second series pictures of swatches i just left it out under an open shelf but the palette i used on it wasn't used for two years.

I tried to do a simple study based on this reference. Any tips or tricks? Any advice for improving?

I’m using relatively low cost paper, brushes, and paints for now.

I was happy about this until I accidentally made a splatter at the bottom when I got up to get a drink of water. Any tips to remove it?

Scanned the watercolor floral paintings in after fussy cutting them out. Used Procreate to prepare the file for printing, then printed on an Epson EcoTank printer. Not sure where I’m going with this, but I would love to give stickers like this out to friends and family!

Finished?

I ran out of a red in a Cotman set years ago and I refilled the pan with a random professional red. All I know for sure is it would have been a W&N. Does anyone recognize it? I’m running low and want to purchase the same pigment again, but can’t remember what it was.

Failed with the pizza, the avocado is nice. Loose watercolor is a big challenge for me if I dont have a super well defined sketch I struggle. I think the avocado went well because its so simple and pizza sadly is what it is.
