Description They were supposed to be like a little diptych, but these ACEOs came out looking too different. I like the sky better in the first, and the grass better than the second. The grass in the second was painted by imitating *pettrybyos and *deathofrats . It's tough trying to paint consistently! I need more practice.

Tools: W&N watercolours (tubes), Kimberly watercolor pencils, white acrylic, white gouache

The atmosphere of night in this is awesome.

I like both skies as well. On the left, I like the slight nebular effect, it has a cloudy movement to it. And on the right, I like how it looks like it's swept up. Are they done wet on wet?

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

The initial washes were done wet-on-wet, using red and blue with a little bit of brown and black. After that I used wet-on-dry with the same paints, dry-on-dry watercolor pencils, and finally wet-on-dry again. But I painted the skies at different times, so they didn't come out the same. The nebular effect in the left was intentional, but I couldn't recreate it as well in the right. But I'm glad you like the different looks to them

Thanks again! I appreciate the comment.

Thank you for the details! I'm definitely going to try to apply this myself.

Ireally like Teddiursa's little face/expession. He looks like he'sreally curious about something. Also I think the night sky is really well painted in both ATCs, but I do agree with you on the grass. Very good overall.
