Watercolors

[citrakayah]

Glasswork, unfortunately, has been a bust. The place I wanted to do it is far out of my price range; there were additional fees I wasn't aware of going in. If I had a job that payed really well, I could afford the fees; they weren't unreasonable (less than one hundred per month for regular access to the workshop, but certification to use it costed a couple hundred). But I don't.

What I can do is practice colored pencils and watercolors. Which I've been doing. I'm terribly out of practice with colored pencil (and I was never good) and an amateur with watercolor, but what I've managed at least looks kind of nice.

I'm going to try some more landscapes and nature scenes. Right now I'm working on practicing eyes, which are good for practicing blending colors and shadows. And I was already decent at eyes in other mediums.

The rough part of being able to pay for your own classes is being priced out of them. :/

Studio access for the more space- and equipment-intensive crafts like glasswork and metalworking is usually too pricey for us.

I like what you've done with the butterfly, and the moon-sun details.

The greens look really nice with the butterfly.
