Thank you! 8) I was actually sent my watercolours and they happen to be the best I have used. Beautiful bright colours and they fold together too so I can carry them anywhere. The brand is Daler-Rowney but I can't seem to find any images that look like mine.

I'll have to try them out, I've been using acrylics but really want to get back into watercolor and ink. ^^ Thanks!

Watercolours are hard to master but it's worth learning how to use them since they area medium like no other! ^^

Also through curiousity what do you think I could improve on this piece? You don't have to answer this is just for help with improvement. Thanks for your comments and good luck with your own artwork!

Watercolors are very difficult but I love them, my favourite media personally!

For this piece I think the color should lighten towards the bottom to have made it look more like the sky, acrylic wash will help with the clouds (just water down some white acrylic paint).  As far as the rain drops... perhaps some water color pencils would help with that? I would have to experiment to give better advice, which I will get to eventually. ^^

Also, having a sort of shading or lighter area around the fox would help show rain drops were falling on him.
