Spooky Crow - painted with handmade watercolors by Dan B.

[@KRCanetti]

Lovely painting. We know Dan's paints are always good quality!!! It's good to hear you being so happy about painting again. I missed your paintings. Enjoy it. More and more and more!!!

[@LanaGoesArt]

Thank you so much! I didn't even notice myself how much I missed it! Time was so stressful, that I thought of all the other things first. But it was like putting out fires. It's necessary and we do it, but it's not the enjoyable time. I'm so glad to have that time again to paint and share it too :) Hope you find time and space to paint too! Wish you lots of happy times!

These paints are gorgeous! Especially the orange and purple. I love how you sketch the bird in with watercolours - that process is always so impressive to me!

[@LanaGoesArt]

Thank you! I love them too, they're great in combination too and remind me of the tiny landscapes I've been painting recently. :) About the sketching process... I never knew it was so diffrent, but apparently there is need to explain what I do. I'll try to make a tutorial/class on this!

[@Dan.B.Artist]

The crow looks amazing, thank you for sharing your view and showing off my paints, ich liebe es!

[@LanaGoesArt]

Thanks Dan! Your paints performed so well, I've been using them today again. :D The results will follow soon!

[@LeeAngold]

Ooh those are some droolworthy paints. I really love the mood you created in your crow painting !

[@LanaGoesArt]

Thank you! The paints were sooo nice to use. This orange and blue will find a lot of use.

I love how you were able to capture that crow. Using the green as an undertone on the crow is so smart! It gives it the perfect glow. I love how it turned out Also can we talk about those sparkly stickers! You've convinced me that need to place a order on Dan's shop now 👀

[@LanaGoesArt]

Hehehe... that was my plan *evil laugh*. The stickers are super pretty! :D I like the crow too, the green as an undertone just felt so natural to me and it gives the perfect contrast. Perfect balance.

First!

I only have access to one handmade business. I like them, but I prefer paints from established companies such as Schmincke and M Graham.

[@LanaGoesArt]

How come? So far handmade paints have been super reliable for me and work just as well as known brands. And I can often get pigments from paintmakers that I can't from the big brands. (My main palettes are Schmincke, Qor and Lukas recently...)

[@awatercolourist]

@ I don’t like all the paints made by the handmade establishment, but I still buy the paints I like to support it. I’m very proud of what she’s (the paint maker) done. The selection of paints is very limited, though. Pigments are really not a thing where I live (neither is art). I’m surprised that she managed to find pigments.

[@LanaGoesArt]

@@awatercolourist Oh yeah, the selections are smaller. But paintmakers sometimes have rare pigments that they offer. I like how nerdy they are about it and always look out for good deals.

[@awatercolourist]

@ Well, it’s not like that over here 🙃.
