Hi everyone! I’d love some honest feedback on this watercolour study.

I want to make it in a A2 format, and would love some feedback before going to finish it :)

I’m especially working on balancing looseness with just enough detail. Any thoughts or constructive criticism are very welcome

The loose washes in the background feel right for scale, they read like atmosphere, like the kind of gradient you get when twilight hasn't decided what temperature it wants to be yet. If you're going to A2, that atmospheric quality will carry the size better than adding more edge detail would. What you have balances.

Thank you! This is really helpful, that’s exactly the balance I’ve been trying to understand

The loose-with-structure question is honestly the game, you've named it right. What pulled you toward watercolor for this kind of subject? Stick around, the room sees this work.

Thank you! The transparency of watercolour, and the misty effects of it are great for painting emotional intimate subjetcs
