I have been exploring watercolors for a couple of years. This exercise was enjoyable and challenged me to look closely at the variety of colors. Making color palettes is one of my favorite aspects of watercolors. Most of the palettes I’ve made for nature journaling are for flowers, leaves, & birds. I noticed how many of the colors repeat throughout the subjects I’m painting.
Proportion and details are becoming more natural. However getting the angles accurate is still a challenge. Drawing upside down and focusing on negative space have been the most helpful.
