We hit 400! *Choking noises* Thank you so much to all of you guys, and especially to @theafterseven and the whole #a7igchallenge peeps for this very fun challenge. Ngl today was quite stressful. The heat and my chronic condition hasn't been helping with my attempts to make more serious art. Hopefully that changes in the weekend ^^ How did you spend your Friday? #tgif #chillart #watercolorsketchbook #watercolorpractice #watercolorph #watercolorflorals #watercolour #bikolanoartist #igartist #instaart #instagramartist #artfart #artistoninstagram #artph #artistph https://www.instagram.com/p/COkmBRShlM_/?igshid=b65y0pie67sh

One of the most memorable tips my favourite watercolor artists @spmlaw when it comes to #watercolorpainting is that skin is never one fleshy color. Skin colors come in diverse tones, tints, and hues, and understanding the warm and cool undertones of skin can help achieve a very beautiful effect, especially in painting portraits. Always consider undertones. Look up references. Check your own skin, look at the color of the veins. Real life is always the best reference Disclaimer: I am by no means a wc expert, but I have consistently applied this principle in my main medium (digital art) by determining a warm or cool base color. With watercolors, the medium's translucency becomes a powerful in making these undertones apparent through the magic of glaaaaaaziiing ✨✨✨✨ What tips and techniques have you discovered/learned while learning your own favorite crafts?

Been having trouble dealing with my day job and the Philistine heat lately. But luckily my #watercolors are within reach to help me manage the stress. I played around with the Egypt Palette from @watercolor_st as well as my #prettyexcellentwatercolor set. Totally worth the buy!
