I did something to get the illusion of boke balls. Think it looks good if I do say so myself 😜.

Tried a crowded scene. It's based on an image I took on my last trip. My wife's hometown had a festival. It was very lively.
I think it came out well.

I had a rough time with this one. Water and clouds are my bane. I have way too much difficulty with those but this turned out.... Ok.

Been working on this a few days now. Finally finished inking the #sketch.
I found out that doing this small detail work for too long gives me a massive headache 😔.
So the #watercolour #painting will take a few days also.
I'm super excited about this one ☺️

Montréal Chinatown.
Really enjoying #painting these #cityscenes in #watercolour.
I'm thinking about trying a night scene but not sure how to tackle lights and their glow.
Does anyone have a YouTube video or tutorial to recommend?

It's done!
My biggest, most complicated #painting is done.
I know it's not perfect. My skills in #watercolour still need to get better.
But man am I proud of this.
I'm going to have to frame it!
