Me when I have an entire weekend to read and it feels like I haven't made a dent in this thick ass book.

(The thick ass book in question is also known as Katabasis by R.F.Kuang)

I feel like something clicked today during my watercolor practice. This is the closest my painting has come to replicating the example.

I'm also getting great tips on 小红书

Studying Jenna Rainey's Everyday Watercolor. This is day 17.
Photo shows two watercolor flowers. One is an example from Jenna Rainey's book Everyday Watercolor and the other is a replica in a sketchbook. There are also trays of watercolor paints in the background.
