Lady Lavender's so sweet! You are very brave if you try to paint people with watercolor! I'm still afraid to paint portraits of people with watercolors )))
Step-by-step fixation of the process is difficult for all artists, I think. Now, when I tried digital painting, I realized how cool it is to save individual layers as stages.. When I paint watercolors, I constantly try to distract and photograph the process..it's very distracting.

Yes! Even for digital, I don't really like to stop and move to the next layer when I'm painting. It's much easier to do when I'm still in the sketch process, but when I'm putting the colours, it's like a continuous artistic flow for me. I'm so glad that you understand :D.
The moment I painted her skin, I know I miss my Undo button very much hahaha. But I've got great encouragement so I marched on. I think it's important for me to accept that mistakes are unavoidable, and I need to be able to move on and show them, warts and all.
Thank you Veta :).

We learn and can make mistakes:)) I can give you a friendly advice?
I do not know what kind of watercolor paper you have, but when I started to paint with watercolor, I bought an expensive paper 100% cotton Satin (I use Canson Moulin Du Roy). This smooth paper and cotton can be wetted several times with water. It gives a chance to correct mistakes...) And I still have not tried to paint on paper with cellulose. This is more difficult because this kind of paper is not washed with water.
In my watercolor pictures that you saw, there are places that are washed away by water (and my tears ahahaha) and painted again. Sometimes when the picture is not correct, I washed it with water completely, dried and painted on the other side. But one thing is for you to let cotton paper.

Ahhh!! This is great advice, and of course you can give any advice to me at any time (about anything lol). I will definitely take more care with the paper the next time I buy art supplies.
Thank you Veta, I appreciate your advice a lot. I think artist who offers good advices are generous :).

Looks great! I always had a very hard time with water color. I was a drawing student, so I always seemed to want to lay on tone from dark to light. Gotta have a lot more patience and foresight to go from light to dark. I simply can’t do it, but I admire those who can. Keep up the great work!

I have also much admiration for people who can make great watercolour art. I am very much a beginner here and I'm having great difficulty showing my result to people, because compared to my digital art where I can redo my mistake, I have to be able to live with my mistake on my watercolour art.
But thank you very much, your lovely and supportive comment means a lot to me :).

Lady used as a title as she’s much too little and cute to be physically a lady 😆 or maybe she’s a fae and actually hundreds or thousands of years old 😳 the watercolours are beautiful, love the hair texture in particular!

Yes... I was having difficulty with the title. Are you a mind reader? You seem to always know what my problems are lol. You know I used to call the flower ladies, Lady such and such, so when I made this one, I thought to continue that tradition, even though she's more proper to be called Little Lady I suppose XD.
You are also and always insanely nice, fyn. I think you're the fae hahaha.

I hope I'm not a mind reader, I got enough going on in my own head as is XD or maybe I am and I don't realise it and that's why I've got so much going on in there D: [runs around screamflailing]
Nah Lady is fine if it's a title, if they have the title it doesn't matter how old they are XD
I'm definitely not a fae (even though some people keep trying to convince me I'm probably insane enough to be one lol) XD

Umm this watercolour hype train is really hard to latch on. Often I feel great desire to jump off and go back to my trusty old digital friend of mine. But I will trudge onward because you and shibasaki-sensei are great and inspirational figures for me.
Thank you ^_^.

Now this is cute! She looks like a sweet innocent girl. Great job painting this up. :) It’s been a while since I messed with watercolors myself but I know they can be tricky to work with. lol

They're very tricky and I feel like I'm a noob all over again. It's really hard to control compared to digital media, but at least I feel that I'm learning some things so I hope there will be improvement.
Thanks Blue :).

Nice work on the skin tones! I planted a bunch of Lavender a few years ago and it all died. No clue why. But while it was living.. oh the beautiful smell. :-D
Cute cute cute drawing Scrawly.

Ehhhh thank you, Brad! You're being very kind with your comment because I messed up so much here. But nice people like you always motivate me to try again :D.
Too bad your lavender died, and I'm very bad with gardening so I can't offer you any help. But it must be wonderful to have them around. Is it not agreeable with the temperature over there? I've seen it quite often around here, growing in the wild by themselves.

It grows okay unless the winter is tooo harsh like it was the year it died. We had a total of 4-5 feet of snow, ice and very very cold temperatures. I almost died too. I hate the cold anymore. Why do I live here. Lol. Need to buy a house in Caribbean so I can have all my steemit friends over. Maybe Hawaii!! Probably not. Lol

I remember having lavender in the garden of our neighborhood back in the days when it was easy. It was just growing on it's own and it was spreading a beautiful scent around the streets. So it does kind of remind me of those times. Absolutely love the watercolors, tho if I have to point out something, you could add up some accent to the drawing, or for next times in process. Personally I think more contrast will make her face stand out more. I am interested to witness your process so keep it up and keep getting better. :)

Ahhh Diana, having you check out my beginner attempts at watercolour makes me want to hide them lol, because your watercolour arts are just sooooo gorgeous. They're not only executed with deft efficiency but all your drawings are so full of personalities and charms. Loovvee them <3.
I still feel pretty much like an elephant with a brush, but thanks for checking out my flailing attempt :).

My first times were really messy with watercolors. Honestly I've been always feeling a bit down starting something with watercolors, because I'm always convinced that it's gonna be a failure, but honestly it's something a person should swallow and just keep trying. It's all about searching for shortcuts and trying combinations...
