I think you are starting to manage the darker shades of your watercolour really well Scrawly. There's a lovely richness in the violet hues of her hair contrasting against the pale colour of her skin. Her headpiece and 'flowers' through her hair are lovely.
Enjoy your shopping spree over the weekend. EXCITING.
Another Aussie watercolour artist I think you might like is William Blamire Young. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
She looks like an Arabian Princess! But I guess she's a vampire cuz her eyes are red! Great detailing work * ___ * I love that huuuuuuuuuuuge full moon and I love the use of reds and purples so much in this one and those splatter effects are cool too <3
Nice pose for the lady, as well, which makes me feel like she's really enjoying the night breeze and it is matched well with that small smile on her lips :D
She can be an Arabian princess who becomes a vampire, why not xD.
I'm glad you like the design of this art work, hauuu people are being so nice to me. With all these lovely supports and friends, I am even more motivated to keep improving.
Are you using special paper on this art?
Or is it different from usual because it is a watercolor?
I think this picture is almost like using "Washi"…It really has a similar "atmosphere"😲
Nice art, beautiful lady!😀
Special paper? This one is using proper watercolour paper, the sketchpad only comes with 12 sheets but the price is close to $10, so that's expensive for me. The paper is thick and they're pretty good for holding all the water. I wonder if Washi is similar?
Just remember you can also get darker tones by building up more liquid layers of a tone or start light (which I usually do with watercolour) and add a deeper tone but more liquid over it. For the punch of BRIGHT saturated colour, be choosy and plan where you want it then use it less liquid in that spot and the higher saturation of the paint will really pop, only make sure it IS where you want it because you can only take it away with water and then it bleeds and mellows.
Blending in watercolour is so hard. The paper that I use can't handle too much water and the colours always look soggy to me if I keep blending and introducing more nuance in colours. Ugh... I need more practices.
Aaahh I didn't know you dabble in traditional media too. That is so exciting, I would like to see your watercolours arts :D.
Thanks for the lovely comment and the detailed advice, Donna. Have a lovely weekend ^_^.
Woah this looks awesome! Don't put yourself down, I really like how you use bold colors in this. Generally people don't use bold colors too much in watercolor, so seeing this is really cool!

Nice work. :) You are getting there with the dark colors. And the watercolors looking a little more detailed.

You are doing great, I'm loving it @scrawly

I used to only do traditional, I changed due to space needs and never looked back.
Woah this looks awesome! Don't put yourself down, I really like how you use bold colors in this. Generally people don't use bold colors too much in watercolor, so seeing this is really cool!
10/10 be bold again haha :D
Hahaha, well if you said so, then I'll be bold again.
Thanks Wilnonis :D.

Happy shopping for new art supplies tomorrow!
