I don't always post my practice pieces but I thought it would be fun to show off how terrible these paintings can go sometimes. I tried this image 3 times before I got it close to what I wanted. I always try to learn something from my mishaps and sometimes the watercolor just doesn't do what you wanted it to do. I guess it's all part of the fun!

Gosh, you should post your 'failures' more often, @fumansiu! Even the 'failures' are so beautiful !

Even though they might not hit what you wanted to achieve, I think it's wonderful to see how you are inching closer to where you want to get by degrees :)

Gorgeous result with the 'final' piece too... Lovely gradation and lighting and I love your expressive and free strokes <3

Thank you so much for the lovely comment!

I'm glad you liked seeing the 'messy fails' part. I often hide all the practice that leads up to the wins but for this round I thought it was pretty interested to see the painting evolve.

Thanks again, your comment made me smile!
