    Default An Experiment with Watercolors

    My first sorta finished map with watercolours, but certainly not my first try! Anyway, I used the same setting as I did for the January Challenge, because I was too lazy to come up with a new world.
    Things I've learned on the way:
    While coloring trees, I'll have to make sure the paint I'm applying is pretty opaque, and check it on scrap paper to get the right tone. DON'T try to color the whole forest at once! That was... interesting. I think it's easy to spot the smudged forests . But then, overall, it's really hard to color these sort of woods. Does anyone have an easy way to do so?
    Also, I should have colored my mountains with a more opaque wash.
    I need to apply different shades of water in the seas.
    MY WASHES NEED TO BE CLEANER.
    I seriously need to learn how to shade a scroll (and paint one).
    Anything else you guys can see?
    And oh yes, I got some help from the RedEpic's book (as the mountain style should indicate).
