Tag As FavoriteComment		This is my attempt at watercolor. If you wonder why I don't use watercolor, here's the answer: I can't. Maybe it'd help if I had real watercolors instead of dissolving bits of watercolor pencils in water....

Your watercolors actually aren't that bad. Let me tell you, in my opinion Watercolors can be the hardest medium to work with. I am always trying to improve. But for myself, it is hard to take a transparent paint, and make it strong and dark.

From looking at this scan, it seems as though you used regular paper? (Please correct me if I am wrong) Trust me, buying some good heavy watercolor paper makes all the difference in the world. It won't shrivel up and wave from the moisture of the water, and you'll have better control over the pigments.

Overall, I think you did a good job here. You've got some great potential. 1

her shoulder is too low on her side and her leg is too straight for it to be hanging like it is. It is a good pic, and i still like it, i've never not liked your work, but this isnt one of ur best. But for this attempt with something as hard as water colors, it is a pretty good pic.

My attempt on using watercolour ended up much worse than yours. It looks great, not at all bad...
