Resistance officially is ugly stages BFF in watercolor, you know what I mean? 🙃

Here's why :
If you have been following my works for a while you'll know I'm not comfortable with sketchbooks and that this is new territory. Add perfectionism in the mix and you get the picture ☺️

I've been reading The War of Art by S. Pressfield about resistance to doing something. Very relevant with something out of your comfort zone...

So after procrastinating for a while here we are. The wet in wet sky left me mortified and the ugly stage that followed had me believe I'd never show you this piece 😅

But I pushed through for the sake of my sketchbook project and it came out pretty decent what do you think? I overworked the shadow a bit up front but well, we made progress in the sketchbook department!

Learn more about this place, the Callanish standing stones, in stories!
And also, Happy Easter 🐣

I got these samples of different watercolor papers from @kovalsketchbooks and decided to test them with gouache. First, I thought I would just make a few brushstrokes with gouache on each of these strips but then I decided to use the strips to do tiny master copies of the paintings of some of the artists I admired. It was such a fun task! 
-
Five of the six papers that I tested were cold pressed and one of them (Fabriano 5, 50% cotton paper) was hot pressed.
-
Saunders Waterford 100% cotton natural white 300gsm cold press paper has always been one of my favorite papers for painting with gouache, as well as its hot pressed version. So, it wasn’t new to me. I love everything about this paper - the color, the texture, the degree of absorption. The gouache colors look fantastic on it. Gouache spreads easier on hot pressed paper, but the texture of this cold pressed paper is really nice.
-
Arches 100% cotton, 300 gsm cold pressed paper has never worked for me. To me, its texture is too bumpy and rough. It might be perfect for watercolor painting, but I find it difficult to use it with gouache. I love Arches 300 gsm hot pressed paper though.
-
All three Fabriano Artistico papers are fantastic! I love the fine grainy texture of the cold press surface and the way it feels. To me these papers feel very much like cold pressed Saunders Waterford paper.
-
Fabriano 5, 50% cotton extra white hot pressed 300 gsm paper turned out to be much better than I had expected. It performs and feels with gouache like a high quality 100% cotton paper and I really enjoyed painting on it.
-
These are the artists whose paintings I copied on these strips: Joaquin Sorolla, Philip Connard, Mortimer Menpes, Clarence Gagnon, Baranovskiy Fiodor, Leonid Fokin.

Thanks to new box I will resign for plastics stretch foil, and sketchbook will be protected better. This is new design dedicated to this sketchbook. Mainly recyclable materials in shipping box. Another step to make it better. Thank you guys, I am very glad my sketchbooks are part of yours fabulous artwork. -----------------------

Kilka stosunkowo szybkich szkiców akwarelowych (zwłaszcza, jeśli weźmiemy pod uwagę fakt, że lubię robić jedną pracę kilkanaście godzin lub więcej 😝), które zrobiłam z myślą o nowej lekcji akwareli na malujzkrissem.pl 🙂⁣

Kto nie może się już doczekać?⁣

Some relatively quick watercolor sketches that I've made for the new watercolor lesson on malujzkrissem.pl (only in Polish this time, sorry!)
