Watercolor Practice: Limited Palette
This piece was part of my ongoing effort to work with a limited color palette—just three colors in this one! It was a great challenge in blending and contrast, especially for details like the branch and water droplets.
One technique I explored was creating bokeh effects in the background. I used both masking fluid and the stamping brush lift method, which gave a subtle layered look I really enjoyed. The whole process felt like a calm, focused session of painting meditation.
If you're experimenting with limited palettes or want to build your brush confidence, I highly recommend practicing these types of effects. It’s all about control, patience, and being open to happy accidents.
