this is the accurate definition of watercolor art

[@janawatercolor]

Thank you

[@shawnsauve7537]

There is the terror I feel when beginning a watercolor and then there is the zen feeling I get watching you paint! I learned so much. Thank you from Southern California!

[@janawatercolor]

Thanks so much for your appreciation 🙏🏽

[@jjroseknows777]

Very good! First time here and I learned from the first minute! Thanks so much- also thanks for not trying to stretch it out to half an hour but took the time you needed and nothing more. See you again soon, Jana

[@janawatercolor]

Great painting and done in 15 mins...impressive. Noticed that you placed some ‘sun light’ on the back of his head after completion!....So pleased you did. 9/10 👏🏻

[@janawatercolor]

Thanks so much 😃

[@Nurse3811]

Hi ! Beautiful painting . How did you add the sunlight ? Scrape it out when dry ? Or a touch of white gouache ? I’m so curious

[@bethw7]

What a delightful painting! Thank you for this. Everything works so well, but I think the sky is my favorite part.

[@janawatercolor]

Thanks so much Beth

[@Rockymtnbloom]

Amazing how expressive and yet simple and done quickly. It sounded like you would have done something differently with the man's legs to show more movement. It would be great to do a little study and show us how to portray movement. Thanks!

Hola, precioso trabajao. Antes de empezar, mojaste todo el papel? Un saludo desde Canarias

[@janawatercolor]

Mojo solo partes del papel. Gracias

[@omaracosta1264]

Thanks

[@jubileej1629]

Beautiful painting. Did you use hot/cold press paper?

[@janawatercolor]

I used cold press

[@suel4269]

Beautiful reflections! What kind of paper do you use?

[@janawatercolor]

This particular demo was painted on Baohong 300gsm medium paper. I mostly paint on Saunders Waterford 300 gsm cold press paper

[@suel4269]

@@janawatercolor Thankyou! I’m trying to get better at skies . I’ve been painting one or more a day for World Watercolor Month. I like Saunders 200lb.

Good stuff, Mate... :)

[@janawatercolor]

Thanks Tony

[@trishapeterson5406]

What kind of palette do you have? I would love to get one like that!

[@janawatercolor]

I bought this palette from Amazon 6 years back. I have given the link below. But looks like it is not available at the moment :( www.amazon.com.au/Aluminum-Palette-20colors-Compartments-No-420/dp/B07M5M4JG9/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=heung+il&qid=1627068739&sr=8-4

[@janawatercolor]

Thank you

[@mariaassuntaalbini2192]

bravissimo

[@bobacurt1321]

Sorry, You are saying here - you are wetted the paper - then you said there are rough edges where the paper is dry - I'm confused, I think you missed to explain if you wetted some parts and left dry the others deliberately, no?

[@janawatercolor]

Yes. You are right. Not all parts are wet. Sorry for the confusion
