Amigo Diego, If we start something enthusiastically and in a full sentence and it doesn't work out the way we would like it to, it's a disappointment.
The spark that generates a greater energy is extinguished.
And then it is time to let everything calm down for a while.
Just like a phoenix, new ideas can grow out of that disappointment and experience.
But that takes some time... and it's better to have tried and failed than not to have tried.

Let me check whether the phoenix has started resurrecting...

Very beautiful, Diego. I especially love the first one.
It's like a dream, a promising dream of hope in these frightening and uncertain times.
All the best my friend :rfy

Thanks Ella, a great gift for me your evaluation.
Today's trials are closer to the first one of yesterday, the one you like at most.

Lovely aquarelle creations, Dinasset. I love them. :clap

Thanks Issa. It took a lot of time so far (and it's still taking time) "generating" a watercolour effect for portraits, which are very "sensitive". But at this point I probably need only minor adjustments.

Diego -beautiful, evocative outcomes undertaken and produced in "difficult times" :yes

You are right, OMG. :yes

Dinasset, those Aquarelle Portraits are outstanding. I don't know how you get those marvelous results, but they are delicated and balanced in all senses. Congrats! I think that you have got your target in this kind of art. :clap

Dinasset, as I have said before I am not artistic, no art education so I often do not know what is good or bad. I do know what I like and as you have continued your trials, I like it even more and more. Please continue with your filter. Results are beautiful.

I think to have stabilized my style.
From now on, more than experiments, these are pieces of my anthology.
