Our family weekend event is done — two of our children and their families came to the farm, greeted with brushes and rollers to paint the interior walls of the barndominium — and now it’s time to get to work. A friend near Dallas has commissioned me to do a sketch that will be copied on a printer to make cards. I mindlessly drew the above sketch after putting together a selection of watercolors for this project, using a Pentel Pocketbrush.
Printer inks are based on the CMY color palette (cyan - magenta - yellow) so I put together a limited palette centered on these three colors. After choosing the pigments, I mixed up a basic color wheel to see the range of color. Then I chose a few convenience colors that closely matched some of the colors in the wheel.
Now to get busy on that sketch . . .
