Very cool, I like the play on lightness with the weight and actual brightness surrounding the performance

I like this. It is beautifully balanced, in more than one way.
Also, amazing texture in the background!
You are one of the reasons I keep struggling with watercolour

Hello *puimun , Your work is always impressive. This "Lightness" has some sort of extra energy, though. It is a stunning piece. The blue on the top half of the paper has depth that really works.

Thank you! Yeah, I was really trying hard to get that blue very vibrant.

Your art fascinates me so much. I'm guessing you used salt here and just can't seem to master the technique! I love the level of detail that goes into your work - just how do you fit it all in? And how do you prevent the colours from distorting the paper surface? I'd love to see an in-depth step by step sometime...!

I use strathmore lightweight illustration board, so it doesn't warp. It's very thick. And I have many step by steps in the books I've written.

Beautiful! It reminds me a scene (or two) from the movie Life of Pi.
