A blank paper or canvas is an opportunity to create something new. But sometimes we overthink on what to draw or paint. A great inspiration is to paint the background first.

        well since you do love sketchbooks, so far I have to recommend Hahnemühle’s greybook. The paper is SO smooth. BUT if you really want to watercolor in it (not just watercolor pencils and a small brush to slightly wet the marks and smooth stuff) then you’ll have to go Strathmore new toned multimedia paper.

      Aaaaand now I’m tempted to make some kind of Spotify channel for watercolorists.

      (Not quite the same as a tabletop jukebox, but, y’know, *technology*….) 😀

    My name is Ruchika Juneja. I love travel sketching and have been doing it for quite some time now. Whenever I travel, creating what I see in my notebook gives me a sense of accomplishment. I could re-live that

      Thanks for sharing your watercolor journey. I like your tips and also believe you need to play with the paints as they help you relax and enjoy the process. Have fun!

      I love your advice about starting out with a limited palette and wish I’d found it before I dove in a few years ago. (I thought I needed All The Colors, which probably made learning much harder since I had to navigate not only the ins and outs of watercolor in general, but the properties of each of the paints, too. Ah, hindsight. It is 20/20.)

      (To be fair, too, I still have the ALL THE PAINTS urge. It may just be inherent in my character. :D)

      Love your work!

      I began with oils, then went to watercolours. You’re doing the opposite. You’ll notice a big difference in the handling of the paint, but what fun you’ll have in Florence! Thanks for sharing your story.

      Great tips! I need a note on my sketchbook to remind myself to observe larger shapes before I start drawing all the details, lol.
