Wow that’s exactly what my mother said! (Thank you, that’s kind of you)

After I posted that I realized how much like a mom I sounded, but I did mean it! Watercolors are tricky to learn. I really like what you did with the petals - especially the blue one

Thank you. Yeah I liked how the blue one was turning out, but got a bit impatient and painted a really big fifth petal instead of two smaller ones lol. I tried to replicate the blue effect with orange and red ones, but couldn't get it just like the blue.

I know this is super cliché, but practice and patience are the way to go! I hope you post more of your progress in the near future :)

I really like the blue one! Think you've done great on the blending of the petals. 😊
