I'm always so uptight and afraid of making a mistake I can't fix. I like your realistic and free flowing painting style that makes the dog look so natural.

@edwardhisse2687 2 жыл бұрын

Theres no such thing as a mistake you can't with watercolor! The paint is reactivatable and you can lift most of it and work aroubd it. If anything, fixing mistakes is the most important skill and it requires pracrice as any other
