I like the step-by-step progression! I have to admit, I like the feeling the thumbnail gives me... a slight bit abstract-y, but, not. Did that make sense? 

I like the colors and I love learning how *you* are learning to do this. It is an interesting kind of journey. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Vibrant reds!

Great job Spidey!!!
Yay apple looks better now! keep practicing and I know you'll get to master this 💙

Lovely! Honestly, I like both paintings, but yep, you did improve with the second one! Good job!!

Wow.. Leaps and bounds! It's a nice improvement. You can always go back over your last one to darken the colors.. Or not. This one is better though, because I like the foliage on the table. I see it casting shadows. Are you going to add in any shadowing under the apple? I see the light is coming from the upper right and sort of towards the left of the viewer. A nice little shadow under the left side of the apple, cup and coins would make them pop even more. (just some self taught advice.. hehe). Is that Steem Coin?? :-D

That first one is still a million times better than anything I could paint (except maybe a wall in a house), but yes, the colour on the second one definitely looks better. I'd eat that if it was real and didn't remind of the poison apple in Snow White.

Hmmmm... I like both drawings. The colours on this one are more vibrant but I actually prefer the first design. 😉 

Thanks for sharing, @veryspider.

Thank you for the mention in your "Shout-out" my friend.
We certainly need all of the help that we can get and I have also already tagged ocd-resteem, c-squared and curie in the post's comments.
They all resteemed some of our posts in the past.


Regarding you water paint drawing, it is great indeed and the step by step instructions can help many other aspirant artists.
Well done!
Blessings!

Wow! Impressive progress. Reminds me of one of my teachers, who had me draw an egg again and again for 6 weeks!

That 'new' apple definitely looks a lot more tasty ( although it reminds me somewhat of the poisoned apple in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ).

I don't like watery apples very much, although I must say that it's a fine line between just the right amount of juice and not enough.

P.S. I love how you share the process with us, not just because a creative's process always intrigues me but also because your ( writing ) style is fun to read.

Um abraço desde Portugal,

Vincent

In the thumbnail I thought I saw a cherry and I found the color terribly luscious ! Now I see better it is an apple but the color still pleases me and its shiny-ness makes me want to bite in this fruit ! 😊

Calm little by little it will grow and advance, the watercolor in a precious technique, very soon we will develop all of us as an artist.

Keep at it @veryspider you are becoming a watercolour master :) 

Actually you have inspired me to break out the IRL paints, though not yet. Once I am back permanently to Toad Hall for Summer I'm going to give a day over to watercolour. Maybe beach painting this Summer, we'll see as it looks to be a busy one for me. But, I sometimes miss that wet feel of the real paint on paper (though I don't miss the dry time of oils) 

Another great one @veryspider.

Wow

Wow! You have an amazing mentor and you are a student who is very quick to learn ((:

Continue drawing and painting; you'll excel in no time! <3

The expressiveness of your apple is amazing :)

Whoa! This is one very red apple. The redness makes it look too inviting even, as if it's an apple that we shouldn't eat because it might be the great temptation :D.

I like the composition that you created here, and especially the plants is a good addition to the picture. 

You've clearly have improved in your wartercolour skill, spider :).
