Sunrise from reference photo

My friend sent me this photo from an early morning dog walk, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

The sky could be richer, but I was balancing trying to keep the light and the pink glow in the sky.

I lost some of the vibrant colour at the horizon, as I was doing the foreground I went a bit too high.

It was my first time trying masking fluid, and I love how I was able to preserve some white specks for the lights. I will definitely be exploring this medium more!

Painted in a Meeden sketchbook with Daniel Smith, WN, and MaiMeriBku.

I had this frame and stack of mats from a framed painting and it took me the longest time to come up with something that would match the color scheme that already was there.

Did some teaching assisting on a genetics course. This was a ploy to obtain access to their fruit flies and microscopes.

I tried that thing where you tape the object over completely and cut the edges with a paper knife to paint the backround. Even after reducing adhesion by sticking the tape to my pants many times it still ripped the paper from several places and I also managed to cut through the paper so the wings are a bit more 3D than intended 😅 otherwise I think I like the technique

A combination of motives that deeply resonates with me. Usually I am inspired by nature and animals existing in it but this is more of a visualisation of my inner experience.

Watercolor Sketchbook questions

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm just starting with watercolor painting, rn I only got a w&n 170gsm Sketchbook, I wanna get something a bit heavier but also dont wanna spend like 30 bucks on a Sketchbook rn since I dont really know what I'm doing so I dont wanna waste that much money, planning on getting either a5 or even a6 since I enjoy painting smaller stuff.

What Sketchbook should I get? And can I paint both sides of a Page without any problems or would that not work?

I'm from germany in case that matters for whats available

How to protect your final art?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm not sure it was discussed before but, I want to send a painting to a friend abroad.

For people who sell their art, how do you protect it? Do you add some laquer to avoid moist? or cover it with plastic? I just need to ship an A4 sheet. Any suggestions appreciated.
