  • The texture is the paper. I'm using some metal strapping I cut and bent, the texture shows more when I'm pressing harder while sliding across the paper

  • Thanks for the ideas. I've been looking at scenes of fields (photos) and watercolor fields. I don't really see how to change what I have to give it the correct effect of depth, but I think I have an idea of what to do for a next try. I'm going to tinker in sketch book with colors and shades to see if I can figure this out.

  • CMF 2 Pro phone by Nothing, built in camera app. I guess the ISO adjusted itself. I never noticed it before. I just checked, looking at the export settings and moving the camera around it self adjusts. I didn't see any settings to change that.

  • I put enough paint in the blade, that was the effect I was going for. The texture is from the paper. I know my"art" is strange (my wife tells me, and I realize it), but I enjoy making it. Thanks for asking.

  • Wow. That looks so good. You painted that whole outside? I'd be so distracted by everything.

  • Well this was exhausting. Union Place, Glasgow. Dip pen, November 2025.

  • Nicely detailed. It looks like it would take a lot of time and concentration.

  • Thanks for the tip. I'll look for these, or similar while.

  • I think it looks very good. Did you outline in black first and then fill in?

  • I'm liking hanging out here, getting inspiration. I like the lines in the green and gray, seating green and sweeping wind through clouds

  • They look so good, I wouldn't have thought they were digital. My tinkering in digital has been less than what I hope for. Probably need to practice more.

  • The drips are just an opportunity piece. I had just emptied a medicine dropper and wondered what I could do with it and some watercolors. Not sure what to do with it.

  • I using something like this https://www.hobbylobby.com/art-supplies/painting-supplies/watercolor-painting/watercolor-paint---24-piece-set/p/81073667 They're in tubes and allow using it thicker than trays of watercolor paints. I like horizontal lines, like you would see in a far off sunset, with a big sky above. I started scraping the paint across the paper, and found using an old spackling blade seemed to get the paint spread how I envisioned it. Each composition is something I think about for a while, and figure out the colors as I go. un. Is one I pictured with a white background and the gloppy bottom in thicker white, the middle of the page two colors are, I feel, adding tension, like it is on its side. I didn't notice that until I was done with it, though. Colors 3 I had the idea of opposites coming at each other, and when I was making it, I staggered the opposition. Color Strips I did with a single pass of all the colors at once with a wide spackling blade. I'm mostly seeing how the stripes of different colors are arranged from some idea that pops into my head. Not a lot of rhyme or reason, but I enjoy making these and looking at them later.
