Gorgeous colors. Looks real.
Thank you, June! I used my Aquanut set for this one because the paints sparkle. It never shows in the scans, though.
I’ve e never heard of that paint. I am sure it looks wondrful in person.
Aquanut watercolor is a handmade watercolor from Xanadu Studios. It is quite beautiful. It sparkles just enough to add some interest.
Nice. So many paints out there.
That’s true – I keep trying to get them all, and then new ones appear, lol!
Wonderful!
Thank you, Mary!
Great colour work! Did you use a fineliner or ink too?
Thank you, Anneli! I used a Zensations waterproof technical pen to draw in the sea star and ink in the darkest areas before painting.
This is awesome! Those colors are fantastic!! 😍
Thank you, Charlie!
Starfish and colors are great, but I especially love the way you rendered the background with all the different textures.
