8.5×11″, Watercolor
Text (continued from yesterday’s post):
….typing, inventory lists, printing and mailing post cards, shopping for receptions….It was so great to wake up this morning and be able to just go out and sketch! I didn’t even have to be concerned about turning out a finished painting. There is so much freedom in a sketchbook!
I used a palette laid out with old paint, which I misted as I went along. But there’s nothing like truly moist pigment, freshly laid out on the palette. I think it’s time to either scrap these dried globs of paint, or at least add new color to the old. I was also finding that these old colors (at least some of them) are no longer regulars on my watercolor palette. Manganese blue hue and phthalo green definitely need to go!
def lose the pthalo green (what were they thinking?). Emerald is nice though.
