Which colours did you use . It’s a gorgeous combo . Beautiful painting .

[@JuliaLisArt]

I don't know the color names

[@jtreinking]

Hi Julia, love the background colors ❤ you make it look so easy! I’m just starting and nerves keep preventing me doing anything. Question … do you tape around the edges of your paper with regular scotch tape?? I haven’t watched a ton of videos, but I have never seen clear tape used. TIA

[@JuliaLisArt]

Yep! Just regular old scotch tape. You don't need anything fancy

[@SamsterOne]

Hi Julia. I see where I've made some mistakes. Dollar Store watercolour paper has to go. I have good stuff but I use the cheap stuff for practicing!

[@JuliaLisArt]

I used walmart stuff for many years and while it was okay, the cotton stuff is just on another level. You get really good at mastering gradients on cheap paper though haha
