Thanks, I quite fancy having a crack at water colours

Apologies for all of the questions, but can you recommend a cheap little water colour set just to try out?

No probs at all. I used this set for a while

But then changed to this.. which I find great as the water goes in the brush. so very quick with no mess of setting up..

Hope that's of some use..

Perfect, thank you!

Great face detail! Shadows are perfect as well.

Thanks. Have to remodel his lower jaw, though.

love it Wim !
after i got a drawing tablet (thanks alex) been playing about.

Looks good, how easy are you finding it?

Is wet in wet a technical term. Just so I can research it.

I haven’t even started my painting yet. I can’t see to find an easel locally. The ones on eBay all seem tiny

Enjoying it it's nice to use a wacom pen thing to draw rather than mouse. I've still got to get uses to the skidyness of it but that will come also I'm a basic user of illustrator so need to up my skills on that.

The correct term seems to be "wet-on-wet". You can read more about it here: https://onlineartschool.com/art-school/oil-painting-techniques/wet-on-wet-oil-painting-method-explained/

Thanks @Rich_G. Never done anything electronically but it looks fun.

Sounds like my kind of painting

👍

Hey cool to see what you’re doing with it!

Did I include any of the white nibs? Have a try of one of them if so - they’re softer and have a bit of drag.

Painting a panorama was good fun.

@Technics100 I really really like your style and that's what I aim for with ink and watercolor but it never turns out quite like that.

Finally got an easel. Now I have zero excuses

Nice, I have bought some watercolours based on @Technics100 recommendations and and hope to crack them out on holiday

Class, did you do it in the wild?? Not something I've ever done to be fair.. well done.

Good stuff..

Been painting all day, although kids bedrooms.. so not quite the same.

Although went and did this there now.. small town in Germany

Yep, just sat on a dock. I've got a pocket watercolor set which is handy
