Is it ART or is it TRASH?
It’s TRASH!

It’s a flower, but it doesn’t even look like one.
In my defense, though, neither does the actual flower itself:

I have no idea what kind of flower this thing is, but it gave me a good chance to try out my new metallic watercolor set. It’s hard to tell in the picture of the painting, though.
Repeated Art
So I’ve been watercoloring for about a year now. I wanted to see if I’ve actually made any progress or if I suck as badly as I did when I first started. So I decided to redo the dahlia painting I did at the end of June last year.
By the power of WordPress, I can present the two drawings with a little slidey thing so you can compare them easier! 2024’s version is on the left and 2025’s version is on the right.


Progress? Regression? YOU BE THE JUDGE!
Are you ready for some BALLFOOT?
(This has nothing to do with ballfoot)
It’s another watercolor! I took some liberty with the colors on this one.

Caught in a Rad Bromance
The feels like is -29 degrees Fahrenheit right now.
Have a flower.

(I technically finished this on Saturday but who cares?)
A THIIIIIIIIING
This one was actually quite hard because it had more flat surface area to paint than my usual flowers do. Also that leaf at the bottom is ugly as all hell.

Are you sick of my garbage watercoloring yet?
TOO BAD!

This one was fun to paint.
Sweet Gerbera Daisy
Bing!

At least, I think that’s what this is. I’m not sure. I mostly painted it to practice with that center part. The last flower that had a funky center ended up looking awful. This is maaaaaaybe a little better.
(I’m going to run out of pink.)
Lots o’ Petals
I really tried to make this look more watercolor-y…if that makes any sense.

It’s an Art, You Fartbags
(You’re not fartbags, I’m sorry.)
(Or maybe you are. “Fartbags” is a term of endearment for some of us losers.)
(Anyway.)
I technically finished this yesterday, but yesterday was a super fun migraine party time, so yeah.

I think this is my favorite one so far.
MORE FLOWERS, EAT IT
This one took a long time, haha.

The end.
I freaking love watercoloring, yo
The pinks in my watercolor palette blend really nicely. This one turned out pretty good, considering, y’know, my lack of talent.

Paint Away!
Another watercolor! This one was hard; the watercolor palette I usually use doesn’t really have any true reds, so I had to use a different one. These colors blend soooo differently, haha.

I did an ART!
This is like my first ever legitimate attempt at doing anything with watercolors. It looks more like a drawing than a watercolor painting because I layered like a millimeter of paint on there, haha. It took me three hours because I had no idea what I was doing.

What do y’all think?
