I made a big investment buying a lot of new watercolor pigment a while ago but couldn't even find time to try it.
- it's the first time I use tube pigment instead of little box ones
- I had seven colors previously and I now have 20
So last week I finally put the colors into empty boxes and after waiting for it to dry, I did a color chart combining every possible two colors.
It's the preparation steps towards painting but it still is progress.
When putting the watercolor into the boxes, I had to level it with a pencil, so I did a small and random illustration in order to not lose the color. It was a good opportunity to try out those new colors, which I used pure. I used every new color here so it's very saturated and quite unharmonious compared to what I'd normally do!
As expected I'm having a hard time to scan or take a picture of watercolor. I notice the face/eyes look assymetrical despite being upfront.
And here are the two books I want to work with:
Next week I'm going to get back to actual drawing and sketching.
