I don't suppose I could get some advice on painting from you? I apparently suck at it, but I'd like to be at least decent.

Dude, come on over sometime and we can paint together! I'm moving tomorrow, so sometime after then, bring your stuff other and we can mess with paint. the watercolors are so much different, this is only my second or third pure watercolor piece since junior high. The paints are totally different and basically, anything you know about acrylic, reverse it, and you have the rules for watercolor. For example:

1. Let the paints dry on the palatte and moisten them to use them! Don't throw the old paint away.

2. Don't overmix. You don't want an even tone generally, because it loses life and looks flat.

3. Use the white of the paper... don't use white paint.

4. I used a glazing technique for this... layers and layers. Let one layer dry before adding another, though you can work wet-on-wet depending on what kind of look you want.

5. Transparency=good, and granulation can be good, too.

Yay!

How will you get better if you let your current skills when you just start dissuade you from trying again?

Very beautiful work. Watercolors made it look brilliant. This could be a painting I bought to my granny.
