Yes, it is REALLY HARD, you're right. And the first one IS a magical space moon stone, or actually it's a galaxy. I'd like to try this design again with a specific constellation in mind.
And also, it is definitely all runny and then you let it dry.

If I remove can't from my vocabulary, then I won't be able to say 'I'm sorry, I can't come to your party because I'm social distancing' and I'll have to go to the parties.
I learned how to do a 'wash' with those trees. Call me Bob.

I just mostly keep learning that, in spite what they say about how any brushes or any palettes will do, it really really matters! I'm talking myself up to buying some 'watercolor brushes', even if they are cheap ones.

Lesson 12: These are the not the brushes you're looking for
There are a TON of tutorials out there that teach different ways to paint flowers, and I want to learn them ALL. So expect to see flowers until your eyes cross, ok? These were two different tutorials - the first was just learning some different brush stroke flower techniques, so you can see what some options are. Assuming I just really want to paint more flowers for the rest of my life.
And the second was a mixed media adventure, where you paint the flowers, add the leaves and stems with ink, and then go back and paint the leaves. I kind of love how this turned out. I think it would be a really pretty homemade card or something.
Send me tutorials and I will bumble through them!
