There was once a spidery contents here but a spider has now put them inside coccoons.... Like Shelob did with Frodo Baggins~ Or maybe like those fleshy things in Aliens before the chestburster bursts out of them~ Yep, like one of those things :D

Now I will sound silly but when I saw it I thought: Why did she make the river red? :D Yes, that's how my thinking can be :D
Your watercolor is good and this is just when you're starting. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations in a couple of months :) I'm sure that your teacher will be very happy with it :)
I remember when I was working with watercolor at school when I was a child.. I didn't like it because it was so difficult. All the colors were blending and it never ended up the way I wanted. Little did I know that this is how it is supposed to be, lol :D
It's nice to see some colors from you spider! Even though I know that your colors are black and black :D
Have a good start of the week!

I have tried with colored pencil but not with paint ;) I have been mulling over taking the plunge with water colors for a few months now. The kids and I usually make a Valentine every year, so maybe that is the perfect day to take the plunge.....watercolor and sparkles! ;) I should start preparing now! hehe
What a great referral @shibasaki - I am following now!
Thank you for the encouragement

oh trust me, i am NOT a fan of coloured pencils myself, even though i love pencils. .... something.... something does NOT translate. you should definitely try watercolour! i think there's fluidity in it that really makes it a fun medium :D
And yes! Valentine Day! Sounds like a great occasion for sparkles and taking a plunge!
and and your welcome ! @shibasaki is amazing :D :D :D

You would never know from this watercolour painting that it's your very first @veryspider. It's fabulous. I watched @shibasaki's video on creating a snowscape from start to finish ~ He's a master watercolourist and wonderful teacher. Loved watching how he yields his brushes.
And loved how you haven't done a direct copy of his work but made it your own Australiana version with the red road. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

oh ive done watercolours before, but more like... anime style, this is the first time i've sat down, watched the video and then try to emulate @shibasaki's lesson :D
hahahahah yeah, it's cuz i still donno how to create the 'snow' effect yet, apparently, knowing where to apply paint and where NOT to, is a skill that will needs cultivating :)
Thanks so much, Ally <3

Generally, the mark of a really good watercolourist is knowing how to leave the white of the paper showing through, as well as some of the paler shades, so that you can see the layering.
I think it comes with the confidence of really knowing your brushes, paints and paper as well as your subject matter, to be able to take a really dark colour and make it the background for your white and lighter shades.
Really scares me. BUT I'll have a go too as soon as I can. Will be great being on a watercolour journey with you. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

I am very glad that you continued the watercolor. And I am honored that you have been inspired by my videos. Your picture is beautiful and makes me imagine Australia beautiful air, and fun story. ❤️
Advice from Grandpa :
Your picture is so beautiful. In addition, if you like it please try to put a little bright color such as purple or pink. should be more fun~~ 😊
Thank you soooo much, my sweet granddaughter!!

Thank you, @stef1! I am just learning how to properly 'art' so I appreciate all of these indicators that I'm doing well XD I used cold pressed too, but this particular one is called Calligraphy paper, not watercolour but I thought I should try watercolours on it anyway, because why not :)

excellent drawing, very good use of colors and mixtures, but I want to make a small observation, with your permission, the landscape is well defined, but it is cloudy, it lacks body, it lacks contrasts, to define the place and its components, in the drawing you can see that you hardly scare the black, or any other dark tone to highlight the shadows, this makes the drawing lack of naturalness, if you had placed more shadows you would have given more presence, I hope friend, my comment is seen as a opinion to improve, many times our comments are always praise and wonderful, I think we should make comments that help the artist more, to tell him their real opinions of what is really seen, this would make better cartoonists and best friends, best regards, friend I wish many successes.

Awesome ( water ) colors and I enjoy the picture overall. It reminds me of a mix between Ollie B. Bommel ( a Dutch graphic novel from decades ago ) and The Wizard of Oz.
Nice to see the different steps too and I can’t wait to check out @shibasaki ‘s blog!
