Hallo Jiuhl! ヾ(⌒ー⌒)ノ
Thank you again, I'm glad you like it.
I'll do my best to explain! I begin with light washes of yellows, oranges, greens and blues; I make sure they are vibrant, but also light. I also adjust where I want particular colours, not necessarily in accordance with a reference (photo or real life). I leave the paper untouched in the lightest areas. Then I layer over (about 3 to 5 times) with brighter and darker colours until I get the right amount of contrast. I'm always careful that I don't layer too many colours or it will become muddy. The most fun is making up where colours go (like purple-red shadows or blue trees). Watercolour is a very spontaneous medium that can be tricky to utilize, but it is also very fun and versatile. Well, this is what I do; I hope this helps. (,, ･∀･)ﾉ゛
Here are some tutorials that are similar to my process: [link] [link]

Oh wow, thank you for the tips! I am going to try again, step-by-step. That first link looks the easiest, so I am going to follow that, but with a different subject. Last night I thought about how I could produce something dreamy like you create, so I am going to paint a door and my dog--maybe...if I can. Thank you for the new inspiration. You're so kind to help me.

I'm honored that you asked me, and good luck! I'm sure you can do it; your other paintings show you have the skill. Would you care to show me when your done? ヽ(´ー`)ﾉ

Ug! I tried all day, but I'm terrible. Mine looks so bad, so I keep trying to fix it, and then it starts looking stiff again--like my old watercolors in my gallery. IF I ever get anything worth sharing, I'll show you. Thank you again for the support.
