Description Something I’ve been working on to give to my Grandmother. My Mom liked this bookmark idea so she suggested I make a rose for Mother Dear (Grandma). Since I haven’t painted in a while I decided to try out my watercolors. I think I feel more comfortable with them now that my awkwardness towards them has gone away.

Lineart: Photoshop CS4
Colors: Watercolors and White Acrylic

very good but if im aloed to say, i think the roses are kinda chubby, like too round . you get what im saying? but still a pretty good work really.

Yeah, they are. For the purpose of the exercise I just needed something quick to draw and practice with. Had this been a final I would have varied the shapes of the flowers, which I will be doing for the bookmark. Thanks.

auxeru In reply to Yurucchii [2013-04-11 20:41:19 +0000 UTC]

This paints are Winsor & Newton: Cotman WaterColours. They came as part of a large art kit when I started college; I majored in graphic design. We never used them, though. :/

Yurucchii In reply to auxeru [2013-04-11 22:45:14 +0000 UTC]

ahh, so you HAVE studied how to do.. whatevs.. :/

I was hoping you'd say something like "self-taught" and stuff.. that could gimme courage actually.. aheh XD

thank you btw :3

auxeru In reply to Yurucchii [2013-04-11 23:05:59 +0000 UTC]

Studied; not really. We actually weren't taught how to paint. We were given a brush and told to 'just go for it'. We were left to our own devices which amounted to training ourselves. Some things don't require a formal education and painting is one of them; so you don't have to worry.

This almost irritates me XD
I'm terrified of watercolors. I'm a very meticulous perfectionist artist and take forever/lots of buildup to get what I want, but you simply CANNOT be that way with watercolors! And I can never avoid making everything blotchy D:

auxeru In reply to valethra [2013-04-11 05:24:21 +0000 UTC]

Same here. They're hard lessons to learn which is why I didn't deal with any paint for over a decade. It wasn't until college when I picked them up again, but only because I was forced to. Now it doesn't feel all that bad.
