WWM - Day 30

Down 2 Earth

I sketched this on location a few weeks back but never got around to adding colour on location because Lauren, the owner of the farm shop, came home and parked smack bang in my view! LOL!

Added colour today from a photograph I took a few days later while passing.

WWM - Day 24

I've had another palette alteration.

My entire palette is Daniel Smith watercolours.

I have added Sepia into my palette to try it out again. I purchased SEPIA a long time ago and haven't had it in my palette for some time...I'm giving it another bash!

I have replaced ULTRAMARINE VIOLET with CARBAZOLE VIOLET.

UV was a very disappointing colour for me, I found it weak and hard to pick up on my brush once dried. CV is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

I've removed OPERA PINK...I am so sad to see it go as I've only just purchased a tube but I hadn't realised it wasn't lightfast and I do a lot of commission work...it had to go! I'm hoping my QUIN PINKwill step in and be helpful in it's place.

I've added SODALITE GENUINE, again, a tube I purchased ages ago that I have never really experimented with, so I'm giving it a whirl...It is wonderfully granulating.

I've added MOONGLOW, had it ages, never really used it, thought why not. WOW...gorgeous colour and granulating too! Not sure how useful it will be...we'll see!

I am also looking to perhaps change my QUIN RED for either ORAGANIC VERMILLION which was in my last palette (I miss it) or QUIN VIOLET which looks amazing mixed with SODALITE GENUINE. It's quite different to QUINK PINK but not different enough for it to be in my palette.

I am also adding back in SERPENTINE GREEN but I am currently waiting for it to arrive. It's just such a handy 'go to' colour when I'm on location.

I have so many colours in full tubes that I've never really given a chance so I'm experimenting.

I have noticed a lot of newbies to watercolour over in the #worldwatercolormonth facebook group. A lot of them are experimenting with colours and brands so I thought I'd be helpful...

I am offering SIX newbies dot sheets (made by myself from a selection of DANIEL SMITH tubes)

I will choose from the new subscribers to my blog, and send out dot cards with 8 random colours on them

FREE!

So, if you'd like to try some new colours, simply comment on this post and subscribe to this blog, that's FREE too..(you'll find it in the top right corner)

GOOD LUCK!
