This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
These are the ten I painted in the series. Thoughts or favorites? The two cottonwoods in the center and the autumn ash on the bottom left are mine.
I learned a ton doing this and had a lot of fun along the way. Who knew trees were so varied and intricate? Before this I didn't think I ever really noticed.
How do you keep your paper from curling? Mine always curls when I try watercolor
By not using paper at all. These are all digital. I'll add digital to the title going forward.
When we go open air painting the folks I paint with either use a much thicker pair for watercolor or they have a painting device that pins the paper down until it's dry. A pleine aire painting kit.
So awesome to see you continuously expanding your artistic horizon! My favourite is the redwood (?) in the bottom center.
Yup, redwood, and thank you!
I absolutely love the redwoods you painted
Thank you!
I think the color choices in the redwood painting are the best of this set and I love the dappled light on the bark, which makes it my favorite by small margin. However my favorite one composition-wise is the center most painting.
Thank you, and I agree with your assessment. I'm still learning and enjoying this medium a ton.
