My ArtVenture: Watercolor vs Soft pastel "Lamberthi fountain in Münster"
Helo dear Steemians,
I miss one day of my regular posting, as you sometimes know life is life and we sometimes busy with other more urgent stuff. So this time I was working with watercolor and as you know it is a new medium I am learning that is why I was very careful and cautious. I spent much time with the layers for them to get dry and put more layers to make colors more intense.
The topic came very easily, I love our mother city, beautiful student city Münster in north west Germany in the state called Nordrhein-Westfalen (North Rhine-Westphalia) or NRW. I love city centre with its old beautiful restorated buildings and multiple sitting ourside opportunities and multiple sightseeing places.
I love the old fountain, because it is situated in front of of old Cathedral called St. Lamberti Cathedral, the Fountain is called Lamberthi Fountain that was built by Heinrich Bäumer jun. in 1956, after the old one was destroyed in WWII, the old one was built by his father in 1909. The figures are the farmers family of four persons three adults and one kid, I hope you will be able to recognise on my painting.
The same place I have already painted using my soft pastels and it was in my previous post last year, I will attach a link to that post and also the picture so you can see the difference in those two medium. I would be really interested to hear your opinions about them.
So my watercolor color painting that I finished today.

Thank you @artzone for your support :)
Ohhh I have to say that I prefer the pastel version, but your watercolour one is definitely not bad.
I like the shininess of the watercolours, and the space that you left blank in the picture work very well also :).
Because I amvery confident with pastels I know how to apply it I decided that time to use for more realistic way, as to watercolor I am still a bit scared of it, so I decided to go like the childish way, but I feel that at least my colors look well and in total the painting also not too bad. You can't imagine how many works in the past I had to destroy :)

Beautiful picture, @stef1 :) I really like the detailing of the arches and windows on the background's building... The step by step is always beautifully presented, and I also like the colours you used here... It feels like a soft afternoon! :)
