It’s really pretty! Great job! :)

Wow that’s exactly what my mother said! (Thank you, that’s kind of you)

After I posted that I realized how much like a mom I sounded, but I did mean it! Watercolors are tricky to learn. I really like what you did with the petals - especially the blue one

Thank you. Yeah I liked how the blue one was turning out, but got a bit impatient and painted a really big fifth petal instead of two smaller ones lol. I tried to replicate the blue effect with orange and red ones, but couldn't get it just like the blue.

I know this is super cliché, but practice and patience are the way to go! I hope you post more of your progress in the near future :)

I really like the blue one! Think you've done great on the blending of the petals. 😊

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
