This is the Aquarius Girl from the Character Building Class with Danielle Donaldson. It looks nothing like hers, nor did I intend it to. I signed up to learn more about watercolor and yeah, boy that is happening.
Note to self: in the dry winter months, your water colors will dry much faster on the paper than in the higher humidity of warmer weather. I fought that little tidbit throughout this painting.
The skirt technique is pure Danielle. You drop a rainbow of colors into the base coat that is still (ha ha ha) wet, and let them blend and swirl. All of the shading is layers, and I truly lost count, of slightly darker colors. Primarily I used Moonglow and a tiny bit of Carbozole Purple mixed with Moonglow.
Side note: I ordered 5 more Daniel Smith colors yesterday from Blick. I really, really need to win the lottery.
Thanks for stopping by.
Linda
