Step by step project in my multimedia book "Creative Colored Pencil Workshop" by Carlynne Hershberger and Kelli Money Huff. You can find it here: www.thriftbooks.com/w/creative⦠I tried to make it look exact like the image even the weeds. Weeds were done in colored pencil though. I was still learning about paper and warping, I thought I had bad paper, and while that is partially the issue here it isn't the entire issue. My third watercolor solves this warping problem. I needed gum tape not painters tape. If someone says painters tape is okay say no, no it's not.

Beautiful watercolor art. The scene at first glance to me was of womenβs legs with their get pushed in the sand. I like your picture very much.

Thank you so much. I had fun doing this study. Even though I believe in my book it was for a different media? I think sandstone has some amazing traits and for some reason, your not the only one that I've noticed this from, a lot of people seem to derive images and shape from rock formations like this. :d Kind of cool really.

This is so amazing! I'm awful at watercolour and I really admire your skills both in said medium and in landscape/perspective

Thank you, although I would definitely say I'm an amateur at watercolor. But thank you very much for the compliment. I wish I wouldn't get so impatient with colored pencil or graphite landscapes or backgrounds. Painting goes faster.Β

You've done very well with the distribution of light.

Thank you 
I had warping problems at first.Β I tend to just make up the rules as I go along. I tried painters tape too. Mixed results. Now I use Canon 140 weight paper and push pins on a cork board.

Hmmm. I wonder if its all in technique as well because I've heard that too. Or if the paper is being properly stretched? I could have not been stretching it right. I used the same paper on the elf that I did on the first two practices. Only difference was gum tape.

I watched a few videos on it and there's a lot about properly stretching the paper. Honestly I don't remember a lot of it because I don't think of myself as a serious artist. I do enjoy it though. There's also a lot about the right paper. Apparently the best is Arches which is bloody expensive. I don't have the money so I found something more affordable. Never tried gum tape but did try the blue painters. There's different brands of that lot too. The cheap stuff was problematic. The push pins work okay for what I do.

So here is the weird thing. When I bought the tape it was cheaper and than blue painters tape, also when I took the time to stretch it and tape it properly, I think that even the lowest quality of paper is fine. I bought some spiffy expensive 140 lbsΒ paper and theΒ old paper I was using was only 90 lbs by strathmore. So it may not make a true difference if the time and care are spend along with the proper tape and tacking. Push pins I hear work great but I don't have anything other than a cork board I don't want to ruin. I put my bills on it.
