A small request to all members.

This is a friendly community for people who enjoy painting landscapes in watercolour. We're here to learn, share our work, encourage each other, and make friends with fellow artists. itโ€™s what makes this space different to mainstream social media.

For that reason, we don't see any need for anonymous or private profiles in this group. This isn't the dark webโ€”we're simply a community of artists sharing a passion for watercolour.

I'd also appreciate members using a real first name, or something that sounds like one. Whether it's Lucy, Karen, George, Theo, or any other genuine name, that's absolutely fine. Usernames like LK876&ย or XQ_47_Zebraย do make me wonder if I'm talking to a watercolour artist or a Wi-Fi password. ๐Ÿ˜„

Being open about who we are helps build trust, makes conversations more enjoyable, and keeps this group friendly for everyone.

Thank you for helping make this a warm and supportive community. Please would allโ€ฆ

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m hereโ€”this group feels different. Homespun, not glitzy or glib, honest, down-to-earth, helpful. I notice I signed up with my email as a โ€œhandle.โ€ Iโ€™ll give changing it a try.

Hi Morgan, not sure where you are located, but these are quite popular in the US for shipping. They are expensive, but a one-time purchase and reusable many times over. https://airfloatsystems.com/strongbox/2530su#strongbox-unlined-clipped.png

On workshop..

Last week I attended a workshop held by swedish artist and writer Anita Midbjer. Her latest book about nordic watercolour-artists was the foundation. We studied flowing pigments, complimentary colours and shapes. Essence of light. And how light moves flowingly. -How to capture that? It was a wonderful experience. And I thought I'd share some of my experiments here with you.

Large formats that allowed plenty of freedom for water and pigment.

I apologize for looking like an idiot. But the pictures were taken while I was talking..๐Ÿคช
