This is what it looked like before I started adding blue and grey to the sky.

The texture is the paper. I’m using some metal strapping I cut and bent, the texture shows more when I’m pressing harder while sliding across the paper

Enhancements

Thanks for the ideas. I’ve been looking at scenes of fields (photos) and watercolor fields. I don’t really see how to change what I have to give it the correct effect of depth, but I think I have an idea of what to do for a next try. I’m going to tinker in sketch book with colors and shades to see if I can figure this out.

This was done with acrylic paint, paint brush, metal package strapping edge, and a toothpick.

Cool

CMF 2 Pro phone by Nothing, built in camera app. I guess the ISO adjusted itself. I never noticed it before. I just checked, looking at the export settings and moving the camera around it self adjusts. I didn’t see any settings to change that.

I put enough paint in the blade, that was the effect I was going for. The texture is from the paper. I know my"art" is strange (my wife tells me, and I realize it), but I enjoy making it. Thanks for asking.

Wow. That looks so good. You painted that whole outside? I’d be so distracted by everything.

Nicely detailed. It looks like it would take a lot of time and concentration.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll look for these, or similar while.

I think it looks very good. Did you outline in black first and then fill in?

I’m liking hanging out here, getting inspiration. I like the lines in the green and gray, seating green and sweeping wind through clouds

I use Sketchbook on Android phone, and Krita on my Windows PC.

They look so good, I wouldn’t have thought they were digital. My tinkering in digital has been less than what I hope for. Probably need to practice more.

The drips are just an opportunity piece. I had just emptied a medicine dropper and wondered what I could do with it and some watercolors. Not sure what to do with it.

I using something like this https://www.hobbylobby.com/art-supplies/painting-supplies/watercolor-painting/watercolor-paint---24-piece-set/p/81073667 They’re in tubes and allow using it thicker than trays of watercolor paints. I like horizontal lines, like you would see in a far off sunset, with a big sky above. I started scraping the paint across the paper, and found using an old spackling blade seemed to get the paint spread how I envisioned it. Each composition is something I think about for a while, and figure out the colors as I go. un. Is one I pictured with a white background and the gloppy bottom in thicker white, the middle of the page two colors are, I feel, adding tension, like it is on its side. I didn’t notice that until I was done with it, though. Colors 3 I had the idea of opposites coming at each other, and when I was making it, I staggered the opposition. Color Strips I did with a single pass of all the colors at once with a wide spackling blade. I’m mostly seeing how the stripes of different colors are arranged from some idea that pops into my head. Not a lot of rhyme or reason, but I enjoy making these and looking at them later.
