Practice. Not sure about perfection, but practice helps you
learn new things/techniques. I have realized that I am not just a beginner but a lazy
beginner. I don't practice when it comes to watercolour painting. I just want
to 'Paint' something instead of doing rough works.
Recently, inspired by an Instagram tutorial, I tried an 'Oh-So-Easy' looking hanging flower but it turned out really bad and clumsy. You see, I'm just not a flower
person. But, I was so disappointed.
So, I painted a landscape & realized that landscapes work well for me.

However, I've noticed that when it comes to watercolour paintings, I have no imagination {I'm good, sometimes weird/strange, as a writer though :)}. I always need reference photo. This painting is inspired by Shilpa Garg's {One of my blogger friends} photo.
Well, that doesn't mean I didn't practice at all. I am trying to be a good learner. Inspired by a Youtube video, I tried some rough works. Here it is ---
That's all from my side. How do you like my efforts? Please tell me. As a beginner, it means a lot.

I think you are doing great. I too have a hard time with water color and was lucky enough to win a scholarship to our community college for watercolor painting. I can't wait for it to start. Practice practice practice.

DeleteCongratulations and all the best. :)
You have a lovely painting here. The wave has movement...the color palette, soft and pleasing. It is beautiful.
