I have not.
I had an art class in college and did some watercolor, so when I decided to start some art, this is where I started. I also had everything I needed, except tubes of paint. I will look into it, though.
Watercolor from tubes. Sometimes I like to use it without adding any water.

3·2 months agoI tried adding black and it was just black with the smallest about of black. I did some reading online and found adding blue was listed, so trying that, that is what I used. I’ll try purple next time to see the difference.
Showed my wife the last several pieces you posted, she said you’re really good. 👍

Thanks. I remember the first time it happened. I called my wife and we went to emergency care. The doctor there was pretty calm, and gave me some articles he printed out explaining opthalmic migraines. I was pretty nervous, because that first time it was scary. I thought I was having something like a stroke.
Color is violet, it is watercolor paint in tubes. I was not thinking of amethyst when I painted this. But I like that you saw that. I appreciate hearing that.
I get opthalmic migraines once in a while. This isn’t from that. My opthalmic migraine give me a glitter silver effect in the lower third of me vision, and I cannot see the very center, so reading is difficult. This is more of stuff I see when I close my eyes, often at night when I’m going to bed. This was just something I saw closing eyes when I was chilling. Might be related to the opthalmic migraine, but not a full blown one. I can’t really say when color it was, but I thought purple would look good.
I think the wings are great, very well done.
Thanks
Mostly, what you would like it to be. It you like a cobblestone street, that’s good. Abstract is good too. For me, I was creating it from something I see when I close my eyes at night to go to sleep. But, it is too light, and there was going to be more darker gray added to the painting. I liked it at this point and decided to leave this, and I’ll create another like it with the darker elements added. That’s why it is "1 of ", because I’ll make at least one more like this and it will be 1 of 2 or maybe more.
That was this one. They’re light diffusing roller shades (in the spring before the leaves showed)
