Spider Coccoon
There was once a spidery contents here but a spider has now put them inside coccoons.... Like Shelob did with Frodo Baggins~ Or maybe like those fleshy things in Aliens before the chestburster bursts out of them~ Yep, like one of those things :D

Thanks so much, Maddie <3
Now I will sound silly but when I saw it I thought: Why did she make the river red? :D Yes, that's how my thinking can be :D
Your watercolor is good and this is just when you're starting. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations in a couple of months :) I'm sure that your teacher will be very happy with it :)
I remember when I was working with watercolor at school when I was a child.. I didn't like it because it was so difficult. All the colors were blending and it never ended up the way I wanted. Little did I know that this is how it is supposed to be, lol :D
It's nice to see some colors from you spider! Even though I know that your colors are black and black :D
Have a good start of the week!
red river sounds so ominous /o\ !!!
aaah thank you, delis, for your support and attention <3 i will continue to try to brave colours o7
and yes, i used to didn't understand how watercolours were supposed to work also XD i can relate !
i hope delis will also have a great start of the week :D
Amazing watercolor spidy :) So lively
haha thanks, rifkan !!! :D
Whoa I think you're already really good at watercolours even though you're just starting :D. I'm so happy that you persist with it even though in the beginning you dislike using colours in your art ^_^.
Shibasaki-sensei is a great teacher indeed, so talented and so generous in teaching.
hmmmmm i onno but it is fun XD which is the great part of it, i onno about 'good' though.... but thanks for the motivational comment !!!! :muscle emoji:
and yep, jiichan is an amazing teacher !!! :D

I've been trying to work myself up to braving colors, too. This is very inspiring, @veryspider I appreciate the extra time you took to show the progression of layers - your painting looks beautiful!
you should try ! i avoided it for years.... so i can relate.
have you seen @shibasaki's tutorials? they are very helpful :)
also, thank you so much :D :D :D
I have tried with colored pencil but not with paint ;) I have been mulling over taking the plunge with water colors for a few months now. The kids and I usually make a Valentine every year, so maybe that is the perfect day to take the plunge.....watercolor and sparkles! ;) I should start preparing now! hehe
What a great referral @shibasaki - I am following now!
Thank you for the encouragement
oh trust me, i am NOT a fan of coloured pencils myself, even though i love pencils. .... something.... something does NOT translate. you should definitely try watercolour! i think there's fluidity in it that really makes it a fun medium :D
And yes! Valentine Day! Sounds like a great occasion for sparkles and taking a plunge!
and and your welcome ! @shibasaki is amazing :D :D :D
Seriously spodey no one would ever be able to guess you didn’t like colours if you didn’t tell them 😆 this looks really amazing!

This is so cute! Hehehe, I have to help spider to drag you back to watercolour :D.
Hey, that's 2vs1 ... You're not playing fair...
Bwahahaha!
They said anything goes in war and love (of art).
I will wait for your watercolour :D.
Oh yeah? Well, @scrawly, @veryspider, they say the same for this game on Steem that started just yesterday ;)

Check it out if you be gamers. I'm going to work some more on my... I'm gonna cry... waterblotch.
i checked it and i didnt understand anything so i went away again :D
YAY
You would never know from this watercolour painting that it's your very first @veryspider. It's fabulous. I watched @shibasaki's video on creating a snowscape from start to finish ~ He's a master watercolourist and wonderful teacher. Loved watching how he yields his brushes.
And loved how you haven't done a direct copy of his work but made it your own Australiana version with the red road. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
oh ive done watercolours before, but more like... anime style, this is the first time i've sat down, watched the video and then try to emulate @shibasaki's lesson :D
hahahahah yeah, it's cuz i still donno how to create the 'snow' effect yet, apparently, knowing where to apply paint and where NOT to, is a skill that will needs cultivating :)
Thanks so much, Ally <3
Generally, the mark of a really good watercolourist is knowing how to leave the white of the paper showing through, as well as some of the paler shades, so that you can see the layering.
I think it comes with the confidence of really knowing your brushes, paints and paper as well as your subject matter, to be able to take a really dark colour and make it the background for your white and lighter shades.
Really scares me. BUT I'll have a go too as soon as I can. Will be great being on a watercolour journey with you. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
AAAAAAAH ALLY is joining me???? REALLY??? I would love someone to share the journey with, omg * ____ *
I thnk you are right, of course, confidence will come with time, after really knowing your tools and subject matters :)
Wow great job on that @veryspider!
Thanks so much, Sander !!! <3
