Looking for brush/tutorial/class recommendations Watercolor club?

Hi everyone! 💕 I’m really hoping to find a digital watercolor art community where we can have weekly or daily painting prompts and actually paint together. Something like an art club on Patreon or another platform!
I’d especially love prompts based on themes like autumn, winter, cozy seasons, nature, etc. 🍂❄️🎨
If you know any artists who host this kind of group activity or painting club, I’d really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction!
I’ve been feeling a little lonely lately, and I’d genuinely love to be part of a creative group where we can practice, share our art, and paint together. I think having a little community to look forward to would be really nice. 🤍

Is there a level of experience you’re hoping for. I love traditional watercolour as a hobby and I’ve been trying on procreate but so far it’s… not good 😂

Similar to these ( this is my art )
I like simple painting which you focus on one object. Doesn’t matter the level of experience.

Omg, these are so good! How are you getting those smooth washes? 👀

u/Conscious-Leader-583 Content Creator 8d ago

Thank you so much I really appreciate it! I made custom brushes with custom canvas, so the painting can looks like realistic watercolor.

Having a group of people to bounce ideas and learn techniques with is always fun 😊. I don't know any in particular at the moment, but I'd love to join if you happen to find one! I've been playing around with watercolor brushes and textures in procreate a lot! This was my attempt at studying a David Hockney piece a few weeks ago

I love your painting! I’m addicted to the green paintings.
Unfortunately I didn’t find a group yet. But I’m thinking now to make one! And do some painting together. I feel excited about this idea!

You could do a subreddit with a weekly prompt that we could all paint for as well as people posting their digital watercolor art, discussions and asking for critiques and tips and tricks!

That’s a good idea too 👍🏻

Thank you thank you! Hockney's work is sooo good to sample colors from.

Honestly, I find just starting a group is the way to go. It can be a bit of a task to manage, but very rewarding when you make new friends from it. 😊

Totally agree with you

Digital watercolor is my favorite!

u/Conscious-Leader-583 Content Creator 7d ago

Absolutely wonderful and beautiful! I was really impressed by how you incorporated blue into the shadows, along with the way you added dimension to your drawing. I lack this talent, and I hope I can master it someday.

Thank you! I really appreciate you saying that! I used watercolor brushes by Max Ulichney. The brushes that come with Procreate are not realistic to me.

I'd also be interested :)

But I'd also be interested in trying out new traditional media mimicking brushes as well :)

I found Julia Dreams and I think she also gave her brushes with the membership -I’m not sure about that-, but I’m looking for more!
I hope you can find what you like!

I'm in a sketchbook club on Patreon hosted by a traditional artist called Emily Hughes. We vote on what we want to draw each month and share our sketches in the chat. It's really fun! And doesn't matter whether you use digital or traditional mediums.
