I'm actually just digging into the online program at Watts and going back to charcoal sketching.
I've been having great fun with real life paint and brushes. I also painted on canvas for the first time ever and it put a huge smile on my face - the texture - wow!
I watched a preview video from Watts Atelier about how they do monochromatic studies first before they get into using full colour in their painting:

Man that Jeff Watts guy can paint! I love watching him move the brush about on the canvas!
Here's my attempt at a monochromatic study:
I hadn't quite finished with this study but I ran out of white paint so had to stop. I think I read somewhere that there are a few colours that you need more than others and white was one of them.
It's gonna be a few days before I can get some more paint - can't wait!
It's a hugely refreshing break from the tablet and the constant grind of working on the "portfolio pieces". Keep up that curious spirit artloader!
