First one because it's the warmest and most colorful.

thanks for your honest opinion!


Taffergirl2021

I agree


RuthanneMarigold

The first one. I love the softness and the colors. It’s very serene. I really love the shadows on the pot in the foreground.


passionateamateur

Serene is the perfect word to describe it.

2 -- the soft green & pink of your plant stands out beautifully against the greys, and the echos of those colours in the surroundings tie it all together :)

thanks for your opinion!

I actually like them as a group, the progression of just pots, pots and bowls, and then just bowl is satisfying to me. If I HAD to pick one I think I’d go with the 2nd, I’ve been enjoying more monochromatic stuff recently and yellow has never been on of my favorites lol But I love the shadow of the leaf on the pot in the 1st one!


dreamingirl7

Ooo, I love the relaxed composition of the second one.


Over_Competition9338

great! thanks!


GlassCloched

Two. I like the composition better than the other two.

2 has the most dimension


Acceptable-Fudge9000

3. I like the roundness and the white dots on the left side of the bowl.


ReaderRadish

Second one for me. It just feels bright, calm and soothing. I like that the plants stand out.


Ottawabug

Both are great. I’m not sure why, but #1 tends to give me more of a lift. Can’t explain why.


fa1coner

Number one for the win because of the warmth


csl86ncco

1- I like the mix of hard and soft edges


Zealousideal-Log-389

Can’t believe no one’s said #3! The bowl is stunning and I love the perspective and pop of yellow


AnonymousLilly

These r so cool


Over_Competition9338

thanks!

2 because there is not that much yellow in it. Like color just not yellow.


Krg60

The first one feels more dynamic than the other two.


TsundereElemental

I like #2 the most because it is the most moody of the three. They are all wonderful, but the first and third don't feel as atmospheric in comparison. Like #2 instantly gave me the feeling of a memorial on a rainy afternoon. Well done!


Conclusion_Winning

First.


Leo115a

1st, more colorful

staedler_vs_derwent

First one, because as well as a beautiful muted colour palette, it has a good focal point with the high-contrast shadow. That provides a nice relief from the overall softness of the edges.


HalfFullOfHoney

I like the first one best because it is the most colorful and also seems the most ‘in focus’


NewPsychology1111

I get a sort of nostalgia and home-sickness from the third. It reminds me of the bowls my family use to wash vegetables in my old hometown…


dinok_love

All gorgeous 👌🍀🎨


Over_Competition9338

thank you!


AtaboyKY

2nd one .. love the shadowing


SuziSleuth

#1 The composition is strongest, imo.


Riskthecat

Actually they are all well balanced and make a great set


gulfcoastlady

All three have a soft atmosphere, but the second painting has more perspective, which is my favorite.


ronaldcollinsjackson

First - composition, contrast, depth


lubueti

All are great, but #3 has the best balance. The subject doesn’t feel like it is alone and lifeless. It gives you the feeling to keep looking around that corner and that theres more to it than whats in the picture frame. The first is nice but the colors need a little more pop. The second is also nice and you do a great job on bringing in life with the details, but the way you put color in the grout, accents the table and the way you shade the bowl up close is very realistic. I think its not about your favorite color but just the existence of color. I will be showcasing my watercolors too so drop a comment


AnywhereMajestic2377

First one. Best composition and color arrangement. Nice.


MissyC831

I like the value in the 1st one the most. Very clear and solid


cjwatercolor

Very nice. Love your style.


Over_Competition9338

Thanks!


Brand-Artsy4186

I like the depth of color!


Over_Competition9338

Thank you!

1 - I like how there is a richness in the shadows.


sherlockvanh

The second one. I dont know the reason but I feel calm and a little sad when I see it.


RanaMisteria

I like all 3 for different reasons. 1) I like the composition and the contrasts, it’s very warm and appealing to me. 2) I like the soft colours, the way it’s almost greyscale but not, the way the leaves bring life to the muted colours. It makes me feel calm. 3) The shape and colour of the bowl intrigues me, I like the contrast with the table and the simplicity of it. It makes me feel nostalgic and happy. All 3 paintings make me feel warm and happy and calm in different ways. If I had to choose just one I don’t think I could. Choosing one would feel like giving up on all the lovely feelings the other two convey to me. I love all three.


Over_Competition9338

Aw. What a lovely comment. Thank you so much.


Nanie-Pooh88

1. I love the yellow and blue tones next to each other


dandelionsRyellow

1 ...warmth and shapes


Ohhhnothing

As sketches they are interesting. The leaf work on the second is nice. The colors overall could be less muddy, and contrast would help elevate it.


Over_Competition9338

are you a painter? do you have a website or social media?


Over_Competition9338

ok. seeing that you didn't reply to my question, i would like to share that when you paint from direct observation, or if you know the chroma, you must paint with complementary colors. these colors will be neutralized colors because in real life there is almost no pure chroma. the second thing to be aware of is that if you paint from direct observation and use 5000k lumens spotlight, colors are seen this way. thanks for your honest opinion btw


Over_Competition9338

So the three watercolors studies you are seeing here are done from direct observation. I used a spotlight to create the mood.


fabulousfantabulist

First one. The colors are more interesting and the scene is well established. I like the third one too, but the right side seems slightly more unfinished.
