My first watercolour. Unfortunately the cargo ship and sub in the background are both supposed to be yachts! Oh well. It was fun

Looks pretty bloody good to me, @Blossom1961 (from someone who can’t draw a straight line!!)
well done!1 -
Dear @Blossom1961, The boats look fine; the water and sky are great. Is the watercolour hard to use and get those lovely layered effects? I was recently given a set of three white plaster frogs who hear no evil, speak no evil and see no evil. I have bought a cheap tin of watercolour paints to paint them, but I'm too chicken to start!1

@jennyss I tried watercolours years ago and gave up after my first attempt to self teach. The local community group advertised last month for beginner lessons so I forced myself to go and enjoyed it immensely. The trick is learning the paint water ratio for each application. Google has instructions but I needed a person approach.
Thank you ladies for your encouragement. I doubt I will ever get to them being showable, but that is okay as it is enjoyable.
Now to get back to that ukulele. I am going to self teach myself that one with @arpie help notes. The group session wasn’t my thing as it really was for more advanced. Once I can train my fingers I will reconsider.2 -
I voted today! Some of the parties should get on this thread because they are very creative.2

Well done @Blossom1961. It’s a restful painting and your colour choices are fab.
I did a water colour class a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. The class opened up my creative juices. There is something magical about working with water colours.
After you’ve played around a bit, get yourself some quality water colours. I’m lucky to have access to my partner’s paints. The colours are rich and simply lovely to play with. So treat yourself

Hi @jena Ihave some Van Gogh but I haven’t used them yet. I will continue with the cheap stuff until I know what I am doing. My hubby uses acrylics, pastels, pencils and charcoal.1

Hi @Blossom1961. Go gal. Have fun playing I like playing with ink and water colour; and ink with colour pencil. Can get some interesting effects.
I was given some pastels and pastel paper for my birthday - yet to play with those. I’ll get some tips from my partners who also used pastels & charcoal.
Isn’t if fun. Today I’m embossing what will become a large leather satchel.0 -
I wish I could find my mojo for painting again. Last one was the pic of my dog on my profile pic done before I got BC. Have got one half finished of the old boat here over a metre in size. Hopefully will get to finish at some stage. My art always draws me back in again so I know I will. xo 7 -
My watercolour was so creative tonight, even I couldn’t figure it out.3
