Have a look at this one by Edmund Dulac from a Fairy Tale There's a great variety of watercolor paintings. And if one looks carefully, we can find a wide variety of paintings that look quite apart and different from each other. Let's take a simple theme. A watercolored flower. These can be done with blunt thrusts of the brush and you can easily produce a good looking flower.
But what about those that really look real. Often, it's not only about the watercoloring technique but the time you spend with it. If you keep layering very light coats of watercolor paint. These keep overlappind and create depth and a stronger colour. That's why some watercolor paintings are better than others.
Just take a little longer and I'm sure you'll be impressed with the watercolor paintings you produce. Give it a go and put on some music while you're painting.

Hi
We just wanted to leave a quick, but hopefully informative, message about the Dulac illustration sourced from our website. Our understanding is that is not drawn from a fairy-tale as attributed, but rather, is an attempt to represent Belgium anamorphically in the context of the conflict that engulfed the country during World War I ... this bring a new and interesting perspective to an illustration that is already wonderfully powerful.
Best wishes
