Naslikala sam moj prvi cityscape akvarel gledajuči tutorijal. I painted my first cityscape watercolor viewer tutorial.

Koliko god nešto dobro da uradite, uvek može bolje. Nezadovoljstvo nečim ako je u realnim granicama može da bude motivišuće, posebno kada je umetnost u pitanju. Ono što je sigurno to je da se mora puno vežbati. Dnevno crtam i po 10 sati ali kada radite sa strašću, ne osetite kad proleti vreme. U poslednje vreme pratim rad mnogih umetnika i pokušavam da se usavrsavam gledajuči i pokušavajući na taj način da vežbam boje, senke, zakon svetlosti u prirodi i tako dalje. . .
Juče sam bila oduševljena kako je autor naslikao akvarel ulicu sa saibraćajem. Nisam odolela da pokušam da ga naslikam iako to nikada ranije nisam ni pokušavala. Evo kako je taj proces stvaranja izgledao.

No matter how well you do something, it can always be better. Dissatisfaction with something if it is within realistic limits can be motivating, especially when it comes to art. What is certain is that you have to practice a lot. I draw for 10 hours a day, but when you work with passion, you don't feel when time flies. Lately, I have been following the work of many artists and trying to improve myself by watching and trying to practice colors, shadows, the law of light in nature and so on. . .
Yesterday I was delighted how the author painted a watercolor street with traffic. I couldn't resist trying to paint it even though I had never tried it before. Here's what that creation process looked like.

Kao što vidite, pripremila sam boje, četkice, akvarel-papir, pustila dzez muziku i počela. Prvo sam nacrtala skicu:

As you can see, I prepared paints, brushes, watercolor paper, played jazz music and started. First I drew a sketch:

Zatim sam pažljivo gledala kako se prva boja nanosi. Verujte, nisam uopšte znala da se tako počinje. Divan je osećaj kada učite nešto novo.

Then I carefully watched how the first color was applied. Believe me, I didn't even know it started like that. It's a great feeling when you learn something new.

Najviše dominira oker i žuta boja jer treba prikazati deo dana u zalasku sunca. U startu sam bila oduševljena.inače, možete da gledate u nešto kako se radi koliko god hocete ali bez potencijala i talenta ne vredi. Nećete moći da nacrtate pogotovo što je akvarel najteža tehnika. Sve mora da se radi brzo.

Ocher and yellow color dominates the most because part of the day at sunset should be shown. In the beginning, I was delighted. otherwise, you can watch something being done as much as you want, but without potential and talent, it's not worth it. You won't be able to draw especially since watercolor is the most difficult technique. Everything must be done quickly.

Sada se već vidi kako će izgledati konačan izgled. U pitanju su sati crtanja i slikanja što baš i nije zgodno ako ste na dijeti, mnogo se sedi. 😆

Now we can already see what the final look will look like. It involves hours of drawing and painting, which is not very convenient if you are on a diet, you sit a lot. 😆

Najviše volim da slikam noću. Polako, bez žurbe uz mirise čaja i kafe. Dzez vam daje savršeni ritam. Deo po deo i slika je gotova. Malo su mi se ledja ukočila ali pogled na sliku i osećaj zadovoljstva je sve izlečio. 🥰
Završena!

I like to paint at night the most. Slowly, without haste with the aromas of tea and coffee. Jazz gives you the perfect rhythm. Part by part and the picture is finished. My back was a little stiff, but looking at the picture and feeling satisfied cured everything.
Finished!

Razmišljam, koliko godina sam se plašila da radim akvarel i onda te nešto jako “pukne” i kažeš jbt ’aj’ bar da probam i onda vidiš da te više nijedna tehnika sem te ne zanima. Baciš prošlost i kreneš iz početka sa novom strašću i svežinom...
Tako je u svim segmentina života. Prvi korak ako nešto želiš da uspeš je - usuditi se.

I'm thinking, how many years have I been afraid to do watercolor and then something really "breaks" in you and you say, "Hey, at least I should try it" and then you see that you are no longer interested in any other technique. You throw away the past and start from the beginning with new passion and freshness...
It is like that in all segments of life. The first step if you want to succeed in something is to dare.
