I'm in the look out for the best archival ink for fountain pens that won't smudge with watercolors. Something that won't clog up the fountain pen too. What have you guys been using that works nicely? Let me know!

I posted a week ago about how to approach something a little more complex as a total beginner. Thanks for the tips! I definitely had a much better time starting with the lights towards the darks. While it isn’t perfect, I definitely learned a lot through the comments of my previous post! :)

Should I put lines over this ಠ⁠﹏⁠ಠ

Hi! I’m working on this tiny piece and already painted the mostly white subject. To give it some contrast, I want to make the background dark…. But I’m too scared of accidentally getting some of the darker color on it :(

I heard that rubber cement is not very recommended, and using tape makes me worry that I’ll accidentally peel the subject off 😭😭😭

Sorry if this is dumb, and thanks in advance!

What are some easy items to get that would make water coloring easy at home, in a smaller house that is already cluttered? He often paints on a little kid table or tv tray.

He has a few basic brushes and paints but , is there anything that is a little easier for kids to handle the dipping of paint, water, having a space to mix paints etc?

Nice paper or book to paint on?

Just looking for any ideas thanks!

Something a bit more organized for a small painting space

Edit; he says its the ocean. I thought it was a volcano.

it’s been about 6 months since I’ve sketched/watercolored anything!

Before that, I followed sketching Scottie tutorials for a few months :)

I took a watercolor class as an undergrad almost 50 years ago. I found my old box of Grumbacher paints and tried the few that I could still squeeze out of the tubes. What do you think - can I still use them? Interestingly none of the blue colors were usable any longer (they were rock hard inside the tubes).

I stopped at this battery-swapping station by the roadside while my moto driver went to exchange his battery for a fully charged one.

Can I have honest critique on these recent ones please? I'm happy with some elements but I know some could be improved.

I'm not too critical of what I do, but I would like to find specifics to work on.

I am doodling in my Moleskine watercolour notebook (this is my second one) and I never encountered this problem before : only a part of the paper doesn’t absorb the water directly

Hey can you feedback this practice drawing? I feel left one is out of the proportion. Any tips what you would do differently and what to improve in general? I used the original picture for sparrows, but changed the branch and sky on purpose.
