Description I got some new paints, so this was my first finished piece with those. I wanted to test wet into wet, and a couple other techniques, and what better way to test that out than with Tolkien's queen of the stars.
I was also experimenting with inking my watercolors, so this one is inked. After a couple tests, I think I still prefer not inking my watercolors.

Comments and critiques welcome.

9x12 Holbein watercolors, india ink, and white gouache on canson watercolor paper.

Thank you I love painting skies, stars and clouds. its such a freeing process to just let shapes form, and forget about line-work and precision for a bit.

I totally understand that feeling, even if I do that too rarely myself ^^
