My limited color palette consists of Quinacridone Gold (yellow), Permanent Alizarin Crimson (red) and Payne's Gray. For the background later on (stylization) I also used Shadow Violet by Daniel Smith, this color strongly granulates and helped me with some texture and effect. Hope you enjoy the tutorial!

Incredible tutorial, this is like an entire skillshare class for free! I especially like how you broke down each layer into those steps at the beginning, thinking of it like that might help me not overwork layers so much. You're such a well spoken and encouraging teacher! 🥰

You just blew my mind. I struggle so much with watercolor. I dove in with no real knowledge and have to unlearn a lot. This helped me immensely. Thank you.

the shading is wonderful 😀 the gold leaf is a nice shiny touch

[jessicameisner]

One of my favorites so far. I really like how you broke layers into cards while glazing. I usually just wing it or go with the flow imitating what I see knowing I have to put in my lights, midtones and darks. This kind of broke it down mechanically for me and made me think in a different way. I usually have a cow too when I put in the shadows. Im always thinking relax Jessica, you're not done and haven't put in the dark darks yet. It will fade. But I find those in between moments anxiety filled. When I'm done, I'm like I knew it would fade, why was I so worried. I need to try the gold leaf someday. Such a cool effect. I really enjoyed how organized this process (tutorial) was even tho you come off as a free spirit expressive most of the time. It's always helpful to see how other artists break things down and process things and how one can learn from different techniques or those that are different from our own. - Jessica
