stuff from life

anyone have tips for using watercolor on the go? as in using some pentel waterbrushes and a small halfpan set? i want to get into urban sketching
>>
Complete watercolor babby here. So what I'm getting is to create volume and depth I do that through multiple washes and glazing?
>>
>>2306227
this one would be rather good if the proportions werent all over the place
>>
>>2306232
volume and depth are made on how you arrange values

if you're asking how to paint dark with watercolor, you can either glaze or just use less water and more pigments

Take Parkablog's advice on urban sketching for supplies. Take Alphonso Dunn's advice for the actual sketching.

>>2306227

what the fuck is up with people rendering things without having a halfway decent drawing?

That's what you get for paying for less.

I was lazy and wanted to focus more on the watercolor itself.

My final for a drawing class, a self portrait as space. It's like 36x 22 and it was a goddamn pain cause it was my first watercolor, but thanks to books I got off of /ic/ it wasn't as awful as it could have been.

Then you'll never progress, homie.

Wow really? Seems like a dumb assignment. Also you did a watercolour for your drawing final?
>>
>>2305339
Is this good? I don't even know what's good art anymore.

What's "good" watercolors?
>>

Anything by Sargent or Wyeth

Besides your values being a bit flat I like this - the people especially. How big is this?
>>

>>
Sorry for being a scrub, but I've seen some cool things come from water color. Where should I go to start?

Me and muh style. I'm having trouble with the colors. It's not finished, but the composition is obviously set. Any feedback is welcome.
>>
Any good software that mimics watercolor?
>>
>>2316066
Colours, composition, and overall feel are actually working well, perhaps you could push values a bit.

You need more work on drawing, really.
>>
>>2306115
You need some better paper dawg
>>
>>2316066
Good composition.
You gotta work on making things feel like they have form.
Perspective mayne.

Also, wtf is goin on with those stalagmites in the bg
>>

I could see you illustrating a children's book. :)
