Autumn watercolor TUTORIAL (easy sponge technique)

Hello everyone, I am happy to be able to post another article as part of projecteducate (https://www.deviantart.com/projecteducate)s Traditional art week. Today's painting is inspired by autumn, its coloring and tutorial will present an easy technique, very suitable for beginners and those, that want to just relax and play around with color - in my opinion. I hope you'll enjoy!

Let's go over the materials. The list is pretty simple, you'll need a watercolor paper (I prefer 100% cotton paper for this technique, but make your paper at least 300 gsm, so that it can withstand a lot of water and layering), watercolor paints either in tubes or p

Portrait sketching practices
People & Portraits Week
Hello everyone and welcome to my entry for People & Portraits week here at projecteducate (https://www.deviantart.com/projecteducate). I was tempted to include a watercolor tutorial (my usual stuff), but instead I opted for something more challenging, hoping this might be helpful to starting artists in particular :)
This article will be about the best portrait sketching practices for a starting artist. As a painter, I fell into a trap of spending twenty hours of painting to one hour of drawing and this cost me a lot. Painting is fun for me, moving water across the paper, playing with pigments, detailing with tiny brushes for ages is a great way to
How to write a (readable) article / tutorial
Community Week
I am excited to be joining Community Week at projecteducate (https://www.deviantart.com/projecteducate) once again :) I will try to be short and eloquent (though I will surely fail at both), because - let's face it - a written article / tutorial keeps falling behind videos as an educational medium. Be honest, would you rather watch a video or read about the problem you are currently researching? And if the choice is to read, what would convince you to dig into one article over the other? In other words, what makes a tutorial / article readable?
In this article I will try to address some of the things, that might either encourage or discourage readers to engage and lear

Acrylic paint is my favorite, especially for its easy handling and all the reasons stated in this article 
. My practice in painting have begun precisely with acrylics and also I have done something Oil, whose disadvantage is its slow drying but also easy to handle (brushes flat tip have proved very useful for dispersing the paint with more precision on the canvas and the composition that I'm doing. I also enjoy free strokes and without careful, I like more this than having too much precision) and offers a good combination of colors, very different from what I do with acrylics (for example, a purple tone oil is not equal to the acrylic purple, of the latter is a bit difficult to make the combination of blue and red to be transformed into purple, not brown or a reddish tone. Whenever I have to resort to other combination, such as magenta with a little blue to display the purple. I think it also depends on the quality of the acrylic). I have a weakness for the living and bright colors, very little the opaque colors
