Spring forest (watercolor)
Hello, friends!
We have such a snowy winter that I really miss the summer and green colors. So I chose for the next watercolor painting online lesson from artist Julia Stepashkina with green forest.
First, I drew a sketch. It's easy-horizon line, fence, silhouette of a tree. Then sprinkled masking liquid on the places where there will be grass and white flowers.
Now I take watercolors. For my painting I chose yellow and green colors, as well as indigo for shading green.
I started with yellow, and then I started applying green. Yes, I forgot to write that I was painting on wet paper.
Here I added more dark green and blue shades.
I painted the fence brown shades, as well as careless movements of the brush, I began to paint the leaves of the tree
The last stages-to draw a trunk and branches of a tree, and also to spray white and blue spots on a grass. These spots are small flowers.
My painting's ready!
I also tried to draw this digital picture. I'm still learning and trying to remember and choose the brushes that fit me. The digital image is smoother. I liked to draw the leaves of the trees, as I used a special texture brush. I also used a textured grass brush in some places. Digital painting took me less time than watercolor.
But in the watercolor painting I put more time and effort, and I was comfortable to mix colors and get new colors. In digital painting, I still do not understand how to get new colors.
The drawing is made on the basis of MK https://doodleandsketch.com/lesson-137

Your digital painting skills are progressing so quickly Veta. You are achieving the effect of transparent layers really well.

Thank you @allyinspirit ! I'm only interested in digital painting right now. I want to quickly reach a good level in digital drawing :)
I think after working with watercolour you would have an excellent feel for how to build up your layers ~ Just that the medium is different now.
It's wonderful to see the stages of this painting now too. You make it look so easy. I'm sure you will reach the level you wish to achieve and surpass it even. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Oh, I am now drawing a digital picture with layers. I need to discipline myself, because I forget to follow that on which layer I drew ... and begin to draw on the wrong layer)))) But digital painting is easier, that there is no need to monitor the moisture of the paper and dry it, and also easier сorrect mistakes.
Beautiful vivid watercolour painting, nice composition too! Digital version looks nice too, it can be tricky sometimes especially when trying to achieve the same results of a traditional painting. I Think Paint tool Sai has some cool blending effects that allow it to behave more like a watercolour or traditional painting.
Thank you very much for your kind words! I have only recently started to try digital painting and try different programs for drawing. I'll try and Sai also. Thank you again )

Beautiful, well done!
The one picture gives the look of gold leaf was put on some of the leaves of the tree, but its just the light reflecting the wet yellow paint lol.
What an awesome painting, Veta! Beautiful work!
I'd like to invite you to participate on my Art Curation Initiative #9
Thank you!
Акварельная мне тоже нравится больше, чем диджитал. Мне кажется, это от более светлых тонов такой эффект "недоработанности".
А я уже не знаю, что мне нравится больше) когда долго смотрю на свои рисунки, то они приедаются...) Да, цифровая какая-то слишком гладкая...может надо было добавить потемнее цвета и какие нибудь текстуры, чтобы было поинтереснее.
I'm pretty bad at watercolour paintings so I guess I won't have much to say apart from "it looks beautiful"...the blending of colours are great, simple and vivid. I also never knew that masking liquid is a thing, so a TIL for me!
If you are drawing with Photoshop, Krita, or any other professional drawing software (with a great professional drawing tablet like those expensive Wacom stuff), you should be able to recreate the same thing with similar effort :) It might be tricky to get used to the brushes but if your tablet has support for tilt and pressure detection it should be intuitive. And regarding colours...here's a hack. If you prefer mixing them the traditional way, then do it the traditional way and use a colour picker...just splat them on a spot of the canvas and pick the colour that you want later 😂 looks like a very weird method but it should work!

Thanks for the color mixing tips! I'll try to do as you say! Maybe I'm still not good at it, because I'm just starting to try digital painting :)
Hello dear Veta-less, I like your new watercolor painting.
It is very beautiful, I think that seeing the trees with all those green leaves is incredible, can be under them and feel the free breeze through the body.
Nature is beautiful.

You're welcome, honey! It is a pleasure!. The green leaves will come, in a short time.... Where I live, I do not have snow, it's always the same.
