@Lodratio; I'm not afraid of paper :) Most of my work is traditional and I usually study with pencil and paper as well. But getting perspective right is just easier with a grid.
I should do more random sketching though..
I did a small landscape study. Every watercolour has this stage that it looks terrible and I always feel like giving up. But just continue and it might turn out into something OKish..
Learned:
* Watercolours can be lifted, maybe not totaly white but you can lift out colour to create rocks later.
* Lot more pigment to create a bright saturated wash in one time, instead of layering over and over it.
Also made a quick watercolour sketch with cracks in the ground where blue magic comes out. Was not patience enough, so it looks terrible. But I got an idea on how to do it. :)
Now let's see what I can do about that sketch..
