💧 Water-art introduction 3/3 - Hi, this is @jungwatercolor
Hi Steemians, here is third part introduction for Water-art project.
Main idea for this collaboration came from Steemian @jnart who invited me to join @marty-arts and him with creating Water-art project. Three of us thought it would be nice to spread and share our knowledge about this technique some consider hard.
Many of you had only contact with it during some school classes, and that meant water spilling around, paper wrinkling and colors getting some unpretty shades :)
Well, here we are to show you that watercolor is far from that. It’s no mystery that can’t be solved and with slowly showing you some basics you will learn how to control it and with further steps you will master this technique.
Those who follow my work here, already know that it’s watercolor based.
Several years ago because of small flat conditions I lived, oil painting became hard for me with all that smells and evaporations.
So, for that reason I turned my interests in learning watercolors better and it showed as right choice.
Here are some works of mine that represent my field of interests

STOPHello! I know how difficult it is to paint a portrait with watercolor. It's interesting to see your workplace. Tell me, which country and paint manufacturer do you use? I see that you, like a real artist, have old colors - your favorite and completely new ones )
I agree with you @marymik23, portraits are not easy job but I like to paint them so I don't feel them so hard.
Considering colors, main brand I work with are White Nights, Russian brand, great one. For some particular colors, like say Indigo I have same color form different brands since each company has it's special shade. So, I like to try out several of them and than find one that suits me. I usually use, Winsor & Newton, Van Gogh and Schminke beside White Nights.
Yes, I know these brands. Previously, the best watercolor produced in St. Petersburg was called "Leningradskaya", in very comfortable white boxes. And "White Nights" and "Black River" with me, too.
Now I have a problem with pastel and butter. Russian production is not very good. You have to go to Moscow to buy the right colors of European production.
Thank you. It was interesting to talk to you.
@maymik23, have you tried out to buy something over Ali expres? I bought some art supplies there and they have some European brands also. I think prices are almost the same as in shops and you have some sellers with free shipment.
It's a good idea, I did not think about it! I need to find out if there are any materials I need. Thank you!
you are really amazing, you have such a great talent. you look really gorgeous.
Thank you @yassinof :)
I started to use watercolours when I didn't have studio space for larger works too Dunja. But it was a long, long time ago now. I've been playing just a little with pastel but would love to find my way back to using watercolour again. Your work inspires me to do that so I'll look forward to the unfurling of your Water Art project. 🦋
Thank you @allyinspirit, from those I was able to see here, your watercolors are quite good and it would be shame not to do them from time to time :)
I'm very excited!
Me too @milenamilak, hope we will help watercolor lovers :)
welcome to the magic that is steemit!
Thank you @lopezdacruz
