| Patreon lesson. Drawing with a Derwent Intense WC pencil, then water color in the same tones |
I feel like I haven't been doing a lot, but when I recap 4 days of work I really have been busy. Just enjoying myself, experimenting with supplies. Gulfsprite had us do a drawing in a color and then match it to water colors to finish. She used a fountain pen with orange ink, I found a Derwent Ink Intense pencil in Tangerine, then used Daniel Smith watercolors in Cadmium Orange (which is actually kind of yellow) and Pyroll orange. Used a teal for the eyes, and mixed that and the darker orange to get the brownish dark. Going to try this again with a different color family. Red or Rose shades.
I am working in the new file folder where I used heavy duty folders from Walmart. They are not as good as the original, older heavy file folders I am used to working on. Are we surprised? Nope. The paper wants to pell or peel up with water. So. Dang. I did use up the packets I purchased, and if I decide to make more journals, will purchase file folders from an office supply and not Walmart. Or just go back to buying journals. Also working in a Canson Mixed Media, which I really like.
Tomorrow will be an art day. The high temperature will be 36, unless the local news is playing an April Fool's trick on us all. Have a good one, no matter what. Linda
