@Lee-White and @davidhohn I've never done a full sheet watercolor before. It feels both daunting and exciting. I do feel like it would like the results of traditional supplies rather than digital, but a lot of that is because I lack so much knowledge about painting digitally. I do tend to prefer traditional looking art, although things are getting so good with digital that sometimes I struggle with knowing whether it is traditional or digital. I would like to get that good at digital work someday. I am very aware of photoshop for enhancing photos and such, but am very new to procreate. My old clunker computer can handle relatively simple tasks such as stitching together images, but not much more. I used my money to replace my old tablet rather than my computer.
Where do you store your art? I don’t anticipate my illustrations will be any good to seek any time soon, nor do I feel I want to right now, so I will need to store them in a very small home somewhere.

@demotlj I also have a cheap scanner, but I find it is ok color wise etc so I am good with it for now.

I would like to get better at doing my watercolors and soft pastel in a more painterly way. The problem is that I started art with colored pencils and when I have used other media, I try to get as much detail in that media as well. Do you have any classes for loosening up and being able to be more free with my style? Or is my style just really that more finished or detail oriented look? Here is an example of a watercolor image. You can see more on instagram at @reelynncreates. Although a lot of my recent stuff is not good.
