Hi fellows steemians,

You know from my previous posts that I like to share with you not only my best works.
Learning from mistakes makes you stronger, more disciplined, and more motivated.
This is a failed watercolour.
And this is happening when you mix to many colors in order to obtain a realistic spectacular sunset.
Using the cold yellow tone was the last wrong choice.

Conclusion:

  1. Use a good reference,
  2. Make a value study first,
  3. Pre-mixing your starting watercolor colors -mix enough diluted pigments before starting wet-in-wet sky scene because time is important in this technique,
  4. Use the right size of watercolours brushes.

Thank you for your time! :)
