Tourists strolling. These largely unplanned sketches are loosely based on reference pics from YouTube. I don’t draw beforehand. I combine people from in scales and relationships that I decide on the spot. The aim is to get a whole ‘storehouse’ of figures in my fingers to employ freely in my paintings.

Lost in the Fog

Hmm, last night's aquarelle painting didn't quite turn out the way I'd expected.
I think I might have to use this as a background and paint (or draw?) in a foreground scene.
I kinda like the sort of shrubbery or waves effect the added salt created though.

Galactic Fireworks over Grassy Fields

A quick aquarelle painting I did last night, mostly just to get something on paper as it'd been too long since I touched my art supplies.
Quite satisfied with the end result! A lovely explosion of colours, especially in the sky.

and on A5-sized 230 gsm acid-free 100% paper.

Finally did some aquarelle painting again last night!
This time I used the cover art for the game by as inspiration along with some in-game sprite work to fill in some blanks.

The image is marked as sensitive due to eye-contact, the droid's cybernetic nature and minor gore in the form of blood splatters and singular 'human' eye.

It's painted on 300 gsm cold-pressed wood-free paper from Søstrene Grene with aquarelle water colour paints from Royal Talens' "Van Gogh" line.

I've put the Baldur's Gate under the last night; I think I actually like the results from photographing it with my phone better. The makes it look rather pale, and some of the brush strokes seem to stand out more?
It can probably be improved quite a bit in post-processing, but I was hoping for better results straight out of the box.
(I also need to do manual cropping, as it doesn't recognise the borders well enough...)

Fellow , any recommendations when scanning or otherwise your work?

Painted 's toy phone from his grandparents' toy box.
Turned out better than I originally expected. Adding shading and highlights is still something I struggle with, but it feels like I'm improving at it. :)
Don't usually do still-life pictures; usually I prefer painting after existing examples as they already have done the abstracting of details stage for me.

Did a bit of tonight to practise my some more. Maybe some day it will be good enough to put on some online shop? :)

Dark Tower: The Gunslinger in water colours

Tried my hand at a fairly water colour as a practice for , and as an example for an upcoming experiment: painting with tea.
Ended up using two different colours though, rather than one: 's and .
Three different brushes: a number 12 round brush from , a number 2 flat brush from , and a number 2 round brush probably, though I'm not sure as it had no markings on it.
Painted on 230 grams acid-free A5 watercolour paper from Søstrene Grene.

Painted after the example of 's original cover art: shop.suntup.press/products/the

The A5 "Anna & Clara's Watercolour Paper" pad of 20 x 200 grams + 10 x 300 grams I bought for 34.90 NOK (or 3.20 EUR) from is not great imho... I think it's probably more aimed at gouache than aquarelle...
I find it too smooth, and water mostly just pools up too much on top of it... The field of flowers was painted on the 200 grams paper, but as the (lack of) texture is the same on the 300 grams sheets, I doubt those will be much better. Though I bet the latter will at least buckle and warp less.

The A5 "Anna & Clara's Watercolour Paper Acid-Free" pad with 10 x 230 grams white sheets + 10 x 230 grams black sheets onto which I painted the bottom-left scene is more like the similar paper I got and used previously from Søstrene Grene (which I used for the top-left Baldur's Gate scene).
It has quite some more texture, and —most importantly— it absorbs the water and paints better. I suspect it's actually the same paper, but now the pads have half their sheets replaced with black sheets.

I kinda wish they'd put the original pads back into their assortment instead, as the black sheets are more useful for metallic water colour paints, which I currently don't have. I guess I could play around with mixing the white gouache with my aquarelle paints, and use that on the black sheets?
At 23.30 NOK (or 1.98 EUR) for 20 sheets, it's cheap aquarelle paper that works quite well for my practice sessions, but with half of the sheets being basically unusable for me, it's not as affordable as the pads they previously sold...

I still want to add some more foliage to the first Baldur's Gate painting (top-left), but I wanted to wait for daytime sunlight before working on it again, so instead I started a new one without looking at the example.
(And I'll probably want to scan the first one before working on it again, in case I ruin it...)

The cute little ghost on A6 paper is the main character from aka for the , which I painted two days ago. Painted with just the and the from the ' series. I was tempted to add the light-green background to it that one of the example screenshots had, but ended up just sticking to the monochrome version you see here.
This paper is a fine-grained cold pressed cotton rag postcard paper from , which I got many years ago as a kid, but never really used till recently. I always found the paper too precious, and considered my skills lacking too much to make proper use of it. It's only recently that I've felt comfortable using it.

I'll take proper pictures of them by daylight tomorrow, and will maybe add some more detailed image descriptions then as well.

Decided to clear my mind a bit by by the light of the .
Went with my take on what I remembered from an Easy Misty Forest painting tutorial by TheFrugalCrafter Lindsay Weirich on YouTube.
It's not quite finished; I'd like to add another tree in the foreground, as well as some foliage around the top and edges, but the mosquitoes are starting to eat me up... and I'd like these layers to fully dry before adding the final ones.

Painted with a mix of ' and water colour paints on 180 grammes woodfree aquarelle A5 paper from / Sweden.

Paper buckles a bit too much from the water; I guess I should go with thicker paper, but it blends a lot better than on the cheap Nassau Fine Art aquarelle paper pad I'd been using lately.

Soul shade

We got a set of from an offer at our local the other day, so after some experimenting last night to get a bit more used to this weird medium that's not quite markers and not quite water colour paint, I ended making this quick sketch with them.

I started off with the tree as I wanted to play around a bit with greens, and then decided I wanted to turn the pink spot in the top right corner that was leftover from last night's blending tests, into a pink and blue sky.
Filled up the remaining whitespace with a yellow beach.

Not quite sure if these are really for me, but I do like how the sky turned out.

I can certainly see their appeal, especially on the go, as they require far less setting up. Basically just need a surface, a drawing pad, and some water to fill up your water brush reservoir.

While I at first wanted to try my hand at doing my impression of Don Rosa's cover for "Music Inspired By The Life And Times Of Scrooge McDuck", imposter syndrome set in, so instead I decided to try my hand at redoing one of the first that got me back into painting, almost a year ago; my Rainbow maelstrøm painting on July 2nd of 2021.

There are certainly things I will do differently the next time I iterate on it, such as trying to better plan where the spirals meet to prevent muddying colours, but I don't want to feed my .

So, instead I'll just say that I'm satisfied with how it turned out, and if it dries up as intended, I'll consider it an improvement over my original. :)

Materials used:

  • Nassau Fine Art / Art sensations "Aquarel Grain Fin Artists' Watercolour Paper", 300 GSM, 140LB, A4, 20 sheets pad.
  • Clas Ohlson water colour cakes

Painted this field of the other day using just a small foam paint roller and chalky water colour . A bit of a different technique than I'm used to, and with less vibrant colours than I tend to use.
I like the dreamy look it gives, but I also miss the details and vibrancy a bit. It does show the texture of the paper a bit more.

Local shop has 33% off on half-pans, so now might be a good time to fill my set again.

Definitely running low on yellow and orange, and light blue, and I still want to try out a different red and dark blue.

Will probably add permanent red, Indian Yellow or Gamboge 238, Prussian Blue, Cerulean Pthalo Blue, and Permanent Yellow Green 633 to my palette.
