Exploring "Cool Weather" vibes: My Second Painting in the set of three
This is my second painting using @heinrich_edgecome_art's beautiful Fern leaf BOKEH in watercolor tutorial. There's something so meditative about following along with their gentle voice guidance - it truly transforms painting into a calming, almost therapeutic experience.
This time around, I experimented with the salt texture technique offered in the tutorial. While it didn't quite create the effect I envisioned, it did leave some interesting organic textures in certain areas of the painting that I've grown to appreciate.
What I love most about watercolor is how it teaches you to embrace the unexpected. Even techniques that don't work out as planned can lead to happy accidents and unique results. The soft, granular textures from the salt experiment ended up adding subtle depth to my cloudy winter sky.
Beginner Takeaways:
- Not every technique works perfectly the first time - and that's okay!
- Unexpected textures can become interesting focal points
- The process matters as much as the final product
