I really like the contrast between the trees and the white buildings/mountains on both the other two as well. I also think three is a nice number for posting.
I really have discovered that the world is a very beautiful place! Tons of countries I barely knew even existed (if at all) are calling my name! I definitely have always wanted to have a travel journal with sketches and artwork, so I'm hoping I've developed the skills to actually do what I want. Granted, putting pen and paint to a physical journal will probably terrify me.

I have the terrible habit of seeing someone do something and going 'nOW ME' so basically now I just want to learn to cross stitch cause I loved looking at yours so much uGh
and. and. aaaaaand, seeing you go from trying out this watercolour stuff to what you're producing now is just. JUST. i'm kind of emo about it. I love what you can do with colour, and shading stuff blows by mind like how do make watercolour sHaDE. but not even just that, your grasp of shape and form is so good too and uGh (again) I love looking at your art ;-;
this around the world project is so cool, I'm excited to see the journey (hehe) you take with it. you did a great job on that reflection *-* also also I keep staring at that Algeria one, I do not know enough art terms to say why but I find it so balanced and so calming
I can't wait to see more
GLUB. Cross stitching is one of those things like coloring or knitting that is SO soothing because it's repetitive motion without requiring a ton of thought. So that's to say that if you want to cross stitch JUST DO IT. It's a nice hobby that anyone can do but not many ACTUALLY do.
DON'T get emo about my watercolors gosh. I mean, you can do what you want. I'm not the boss of you. ALSO WATERCOLOR SHADE IS EASY. Honestly. You just tell it that it's ugly and... no, that's the wrong kind of shade.

you can really see how your brush strokes are improving over time and I always love the contrast between your watercolors and the inking and just UGH they are so stunning
THANK YOU for coming on my journey with you. I can really see the journey of using ink and paint by comparing these early ones with some of the ones I've painted recently. It's less obvious when you're painting every day, you know?
