ahh keep at it, painting is uber when you get into it.
I've not done any since High School now.. Really got to get back at at.
Love the idea of this one anyway.. just not so much the messy paint! haha
Keep at it

Have you tried acrylics yet? It's sometimes easier than watercolors and works the same way (dipping brush in water, then paint, etc.).

Haha, I tried lots of acrylics in college and I completely FAILED at those as well.

Practice makes perfect. I sucked at acrylics and watercolors at first, but once you get used to the medium, it does what you want it to ; )

I wouldn;t say it ended up a mess.
Miyazaki really blasts out some ass in this method, and it's just some quick idea expression to propel more finished product.
MEyazaki is back in the house. I always liked MEyazaki because he said little, was a bit taller than the original, stoic, and knew some wacky kung fu.
You'll refine your approach in time. I remember first using watercolors was just a mess. Learn to work with slabs of watered paper to define smoothness before adding some blasts of color to the dried paper for sharper edges. The complexity of the textures caused my water, the paper, dry and wet areas, and mixing confuses the eye and makes it all look much harder than it ever really is.

I'll certainly be giving it another go. Thanks for the encouragement.
