Hi, Steemit!
Today I looked at the master class of Sergei Kurbatov and decided to repeat it. Here's what I got. This watercolor in the technique of raw.
Some intermediate photos.
I put a mask on top of the watercolor. To leave the trunks of trees light.

That's My Entry for the #ColorChallange- Saturday hosted by @kalemandra
Thank you for watching!
If you want, I'll draw you? Would you like? Write me: Telegram or Discord.

When addressing a portrait, be prepared in advance that all material can be published on the Steemit. Usually, there is one photo on the site. To participate, you need a few photos. Full terms can be found in the chat Telegram or Discord.
P.S. It is hard to write in English, because my native language is Russian. But I'm learning. If you notice serious errors in the text that interfere with the correct perception, please let me know about them.
I would like to invite you to put your work on both Moonbot and The Unmentionables for more rewards and exposure. Moonbot upvotes one post a day automatically. It's presently 1 SBD a month to join -- and their bot pays out a reward of about $.14 - $.24 presently -- depending on the price of Steem / VP / Available voting weight, etc. They are just getting started with plans to grow.
I do a small curation effort for them every day that chooses a Best Post of the Day for extra rewards and possible inclusion in our own curation post, The Magnificent Seven. (This happened for you today.) You can find their Discord channel here ---> Moonbot
When you get there ... @steemitqa @businesswri or @Gyzimo can tell you how to join. I think you will find it worthwhile.
Also, I am the curator for the writing group The Unmentionables. We do a special Arts & Culture issue quite often now, where work of this caliber would definitely be welcome. You also have to apply to join them. You can find their application form here. ---> Join The Unmentionables.
It may take a few days to hear back from them. If you need to contact me to kick somebody, feel free to do so. Also, please use my name to let them know I've recommended you. That might make things easier for everyone.
Right now, The Unmentionables has a "best of the best" curation post that comes out several times a week. It has a curation trail that rewards about $.05 just by following the rules in their post promotion channel. (Upvote and comment on at least two other members' posts in order to submit one of your own -- limit one post submission a day.) If you are included in an Unmentionables Curation Post -- which I assemble, the reward is currently about $.45 - $.60 -- depending on how crazy-high the price of Steem is at the time. This is a group definitely worth the effort and your work would definitely find a warm reception there.
Again, I would recommend that you join these two projects / groups. I would like to see your excellent contributions better appreciated -- and better rewarded. I know you put a lot of work into this post particularly, and you have considerable talent. (And showing others how to do what you do is an extremely generous gesture. May Karma bless you!!)

@amalinavia,
Excellent post.
I learned something about watercolors today - how to keep areas white by blocking. Cool. Very cool.
Also, I especially admire your honesty about English being a second language for you.
Your call for - and receptiveness to - English corrections is refreshingly candid, brave and market smart, indeed.
Upvoted and following you now.
Namaste (I recognize the divine in you),
JaiChai

I like it! I love seeing the whole process. I haven't painted with watercolors in forever. You're inspiring me! I love the whole feel of your finished painting.

I have always admired people who can draw and paint. I wish I could do anything remotely as lovely as your work here. My mother was a wonderful artist and I inherited absolutely none of her talent. But I do appreciate beautiful art when I see it. Seeing it "in progress" made it all the more intriguing. What a fine addition to my Steemit journey for the day.
You also do far better in English than I ever could in Russian ... and I, too, salute your flexibility and willingness to learn and improve.

Great work. I've never been able to use watercolors with good effect. It's great how soft and balanced yours look.
