We are spending a couple of days at the new property while grandson Quen visits us. I spent a bit of time outside beginning my newest purse-size sketchbook, a 4” square Field Artist watercolor journal found online. When I painted in the colors of my new Demi Palette, the sun was still so hot that the paint dried a bit streaky. Then I swam and played a bit with Quen in the pool.
By the time I came back to finish and snap some photos, the tall oaks and pines along the west property line cast everything in shade, making these photos a bit blue.
BTW, my earlier post about the Demi Palette included undersea green and green apatite as my two greens. I’ve tweaked that a bit — Mixing a bit of red into green apatite gives a color similar to undersea green, so I switched the undersea green out for the cooler perylene green. Also, instead of my mini waterbrush, I used a travel dagger brush from Rosemary & Co.
It looks perfect! I prefer a real brush, but don't have much in the way of travel brushes. I like to control my water!
ReplyDeleteReal brushes do work much better — I really should carry them with me more often.
DeleteI didn't know Rosemary and Co made a travel dagger! Where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteI ordered mine directly from the company:
