Well here goes nothing. I hope someone somewhere will find this useful.

It was actually very educative to do this - I had to be very consistent with what I was doing and in which order, and anticipate the "crucial" moments.

I took the photos when doing A redhead [link]

Thank you, I will use this sometime!
And I absolutely love your way of explaining. I've laughed out load at least three times. xD (Hope I didn't freak my neighbours out... but then again, it's not like they never bother me with their noises... ¬.¬)

*haha* Nice tutorial and written in a very funny style.. ^^
The final image looks great, which I didn't think it would be when I saw the start. And that's just the kind of things you need to see when you're a beginner so you don't give up at the stage where it still looks like a mess. :D (I've somewhat overcome this for other styles.)
I'm all new to watercolor - just bought some today! - so I really liked all the little bits off information and tips&tricks that you managed to fit into this tutorial.
And maybe most importantly.. I hope that now I won't despair at the possibly very messy stages! ^^

oooo, Very informative! rather makes me want to try water color again. Maybe I can buy myself a little cheap set and practice before going for the tubes.
Thanks for the Tutorial ^_^

Hey, glad you find it useful. Watercolor is a lovely medium I think...

But I really, really recommend going for good single-pigment paints right away. There's no need for so many tubes at first, right? Because I think a big deal about watercolor painting is learning how the pigments behave and if you don't know what you're painting with a lot of effort goes to waste. There's a really good site about all watercolor materials here [link] . I find it priceless. And at least my own painting started to improve right away when I started to be more conscious of the pigments.

Anyway, cheers! :D

You've completely outdone yourself XD

The photos are great, and the method is explained in just enough detail. Not to mention you managed to infuse your sense of humor into what could have been extremely boring.

I want to try this! Perhaps I'll break out the watercolors one of these days :)
