This turned out beautifully! The colors you choose are always so vibrant, but so cohesive. Your art is just so aesthetically pleasing to look at. Keep up the great work!
The watercolor doesn't necessarily absorb fast into the watercolor paper because it's hot pressed, it depends on the paper brand as well. You could try Arches, Saunders Waterford, Clarefontaine or other brands.
i'm in love with this illustration , i love the color scheme and the blue glazing technique for the vignette looks really cool, kinda airy and spooky, fog like even, i love it.
I think hot press paper is also a preference for floral art, I noticed on the one I had it that the gradient are more defined rather than smooth. I forgot how useful hot press is for small details and I also plan to experiment with pencils over watercolors, so I'll keep hot press in mind. Thanks for the tips!! 😲
I like hot press for Bristol board type applications, fine lining, solid fields of color, I can see how cold press would give you more washy effects. Despite the less familiar paper your artwork looks amazing.
Just when I thought it looked amazing, you kept making it better and better. I'm a detail fiend so I always fought with the texture of cold press paper and my local hobby/art shops didn't have hot press paper for the longest time. Game changer for me when I started using it.
I got a really big sheet of arches hot press watercolor paper for just $8 since it’s much cheaper than getting a pad, it’ll be a little annoying having to cut out the sizes I want and a couple of the sides aren’t cut straight but that’s okay, I’m gonna use this sheet more for getting the hang of hot pressed paper.
Hotpress is my favourite paper to work with, but it's definitely more temperamental. most 100% cotton cold press papers feel roughly the same to me, but hotpress can vary a lot brand from brand. arches is obviously good but my personal favourite is the winsor and newton 100% cotton hotpress. I think it's slightly less 'soft' compared to a lot of hotpress papers but still has great smoothness for pencil work and smooth layering.
Shouldve drawn that male statue with a terryfied face. After all, he saw Medusa when she turned him into stone and knew what was happening to him. Would also fit the october theme better, imo. This looks just too calm and chill. Oh, and the irises shouldn't be visible either. Just make the eyes blank (eyeball only with no iris). That would've looked even more statue-like. Man, now I gave myself an idea for a new cool painting. I'm off. Ciao.
Medusa beauty never scared me, and her story is sad and people think that she the villain but she the victim of SA
Yes, I'll always be team Medusa! I've drawn her sad before as well to reflect that aspect of her story

Ooh yes I can see how that would apply!
Glad to hear it, thanks so much! Happy experimenting :D
I’m really here for the fem fatale vibes of this painting
Really enjoyed the vibrant blues and greens against the dark background. What a cool idea for a painting!
Thanks so much 😊

Thanks so much!

your art is beautiful but i was so shocked by the fake mingyu card. amazing stuff 👍❤
LOL I was hoping someone would notice it haha!
I would paint much more often....if I knew what to paint! When I do paint, I just slather things together because I can't decide on a subject at all.
Hiii
So early today
