I had to think about this one, process the information, listen to the first Q&A, and then I decided I wanted to combine various elements I have enjoyed in the last few weeks, week 2 and week 4 in particular. So here is the one with a limited palette (Mayan Yellow, Quin Gold, Carmine Red and Phthalo Blue red shade). I knew I would get some deep darks with phthalo blue, and that the Sennelier Carmine red is super strong. I wanted two yellows for a bit more variety. I also used yellow and blue Dermatograph pencils (they're essentially a resist). That's more or less it.
I definitely want to explore more of this after the course is finished. I don't have more time this week to pursue it further, but will make notes in my studio book. Squiggles, strong splashing, and lifting with a plastic card are three types of marks that feel very me, and yet, I would have avoided them in the past in my watercolours, as I felt that they were not "painterly" enough. Whose voice is that talking??
