My painting exercises until 2021
I think the most important thing you need to do when you learn something - not just watercolour painting - is to Keep Practicing. For me, it took a couple of years to really have that consistent (sort of) habit of keep practicing watercolor painting.
At the beginning, I was really fascinated by so many Youtube videos to learn as a beginner and I still am! And then, my next phase was to try out and copy painting from the YouTube without really studying much, it was all about fun and trying new things.
And then I moved on to browsing watercolor brushes, papers and paint brands and watching other people’s crazy art supply shopping howl for a while (guilty, I still do and enjoy watching them!) And after all that finally grab my brush and paper and really try and paint.
There is nothing wrong about just watching a lot of YouTube videos and try to understand all the theories until you actually feel comfortable to start painting. I think it’s matter of finding the moment that gives you a joy and happiness when you paint. When you’re ready and start painting, you just need to keep going and don’t give up. :)
Here’re some of my watercolour paintings - mostly from 2019 and 2020. I think it’s not the best artwork but I like them anyway.!
