The Cozy Corner

I love you all the same, amico. You're very generous.

I was trying to be and it did remind me of that honestly.....just remind.....quite vaguely but reminds me.

You do have talent my friend!

 

[wwot40]

Lovely!!!

I have a hard time keeping my paper from warping with dark colors.

See @Nylonian !

A gentle pass with a hairdryer tends to help. Also warping could be caused by too much paint in one spot. Try blending and building lighter layers to darken. I like to keep copious amounts of paper towels handy to dab.

You should see me dance then. That's my primary talent.

 

[wwot40]

Agreed!!!

Thank you!

I am without rhythm and any musical talents so stop making me envious!

My, let me check the label….My “big ass” bottle of Bailey’s is almost empty. I think I should start a GoFundMe page asking for funeral money to bury the bottle.

Are we starting a general Cozy Corner gofundme for bail needs?

I said for Bailey’s, not Bail.

Big difference!

You wanted to see Bill Bailey perform?

Dancer, you say?

 

[Nylonian]

Dancer, you say?

Mmmhmm. Hip hop and just started ballet.

One of my nightscapes. Don't ask me how the water blending works. It was a pain and involved a lot of drying and smearing. The Moonlight reflections on the water was one of the most deceptively difficult watercolour tricks I had to execute. @ScarletDaisy

Absolutely beautiful! I love the effect you have on the water. It's so lovely

I'm going to work on being more patient as I paint, allow more drying time.

It just got INTERESTING!

How random... I did ballet from childhood through college!

See! They keep piling on @Nylonian!!

Appreciate the kind words. I think that's the best aspect of watercolours. It cultivates patience as you allow for the ink to naturally dry. It's rewarding to see how a shade lands when it's dry vs. when it's still wet.

I highly recommend a heat gun! Seriously helps it not take so long
An artist I follow, Lacey (rebel unicorn crafts) uses one and her tutorials are great for learning different techniques

The hell with that and just take a bow!

I’m supposed to be cultivating patience?!?

 

[Nylonian]

Yeah. The ink drying too rapidly could contribute to warping if the heat level is too intense. I like to let it dry organically especially for darker patches like you said. It doesn't buckle as much. I use Arches watercolour paper BTW.
