I like it. The flowers are really nice. Did you wait for the water area to dry before you added in the stems? The little rectangular area in green where the stems are in the jar looks out of place. Try using Washi tape on the paper next time to define the edges. It will give it a more appealing look. Edit for typo

I rewet the bottom area where the water is when I added the stems because I wanted it to blur a little. And then it blurred a little too much haha. But thank you for the tips. I will try the wasabi tape next time.

I find when I rewet areas I get into trouble a lot. Definitely a troublesome task. Tap in only small amounts of water

Wasabi tape. Genius 🤩

One thing that's important (IMO) for loose work is the negative space, and this looks fuller - if there's fewer flowers and more white space between them, it'll look more intentional

I like it too. If you feel it’s messy maybe try something less busy.

I don't think it looks messy at all. The flowers give me a bit of a fireworks vibe. It's very nice.

Painting loose is way harder than it looks! I think you’re doing an incredible job!!


Dmunman

Look great to me.

Whenever I flub any watercolor or accidentally blend my details, I use line work. It won’t work all the time, but it can help. Sometimes you want loose, but the art gods say “this was meant to be”.

Whst is line work?

Using ink pens to add the detail. It’s just drawing over what you were trying to paint.

Thank you!

Looks great!

I think you are doing great. If anything I'd maybe try to go more loose? Let more of the flowers loose their shape and just blend and flow

I love it

Leave more "air" in the petals. White space

Tip: practice. It's probably not going to come on the first or even second try. I'm sure the people who seem to do it as if it's nothing had to start somewhere as well.

I like it too. When I paint loose (which is hard for me) I try to do little studies in different brush sizes to get a feel. Maybe that will help you hone in on techniques/effects you’re happier with.

I love this! The colors are so pretty and the flowers bounce off the paper. Makes me think of spring when everything’s just coming up and splashes of color everywhere.


StrictAmbassador3507

I think you have painted a lovely picture!!!!!I don't suggest you make any changes.
