Hi all !
I’m just a new user on this site and I’m starting to use krita just a week ago.
I’m interested by watercolor and here is a first study for a poppy field :
yours comments are more than welcome !
This study was suggested by those of Karen Rice with traditional watercolor and posted on
How To Paint Poppy Field Watercolour Lots Of Advice & Fun Techniques - YouTube
in order to evaluate the possibilities of krita.
See you soon on this screen,

Did you use the new water color brushes in the beta release? And welcome to the forums.
Yes, I’ve used the new krita-4.3 pre-release with its WaterC brush kit.
I’m still a newbie with krita: your comments and advises are welcome !
I’m a total noob and don’t critique but I was going to just aim you at the beta just in case you didn’t know it had new watercolor brushes. I tried to watch the video you linked to, I’m having funky internet today, and it looks to me like you met her challenge.
Oh, many thanks, Sineater.
After finishing this study, I’ve read about Ramon with its digital atelier and Pesi, with its watercolor brush kit : I will also try these for futur studies.
Hi, nice watercolor artwork. I am updating all the digital atelier pack. In watercolor I will try to show some samples but I can’t provide the resources needed to create some effects as they were created with DigitalAtelier resources for Krita . If you have purchased the pack I can ask permission but for now is something related to Krita shop. That helps Krita to evolve faster because more funds means more human resources. 
How good your practice, what you did is very good, I recommend that you examine each watercolor pen and study how it works in different sizes, opacity, at different levels of pressure of the digital pencil, modify the brushes, experiment and so you can get even more Take advantage of those wonderful @RamonM brushes.
Many thanks for your encouragements and advice.
Here is a second watercolor study, using here the Digital Atelier brushes.
I’ve also reserved a white space for the two main poppies, obtaining a light effect.
I founded the watercolor Digital Atelier brushes much more comfortable
than the actual krita-4.3 watercolor brushes.
Many thanks @RamonM : I will continue to explore painting with them !

Maybe you should post this as the top image. Very nice corrections and beautiful image. Looks exactly like real watercolor to me.
Many thanks, Sineater ! I’ve try to be close as possible to a real watercolor, at each step of painting.
I am still a newbie on this website: how could I post this as the “top image” ?
You can open (edit) the original post. Then make a space by selecting the first line at the beginning of the image code and hit return and now there will be space above that line of text. Click the top line and then put your text cursor on the top line and then select the Upload image icon. Now find the image and select it and the image will be inserted above all the other text and your original image. I am not tech savvy but the images are code so just make sure not to break it up.
Hi Sineater ! I’ve looked carefully, but do not see any “edit” menu around the original post. Perhaps this feature is not yet available here for new users like me ? Otherwise, I could open a new subject and put this image first, on the top : what do you think about ? Many thanks for yours advice.
