Today’s warm-up began with my wife creating a few lines of burnt sienna.
I then refined it some and added a dash of ultramarine blue and viridian with a few touches of chinese white.
All confined to a 4×6 piece of cold-press watercolor paper.
I have no idea where this gold/cat fish hybrid came from. I think I’ve been watching too much “River Monsters”.
Work continues in earnest on my latest commissions which I am pleased to say seem to be coming along without too much fuss. I think all the extra painting I’ve been doing has been helping me out greatly. I feel a lot more confident about technique and color harmony.
So….Yay for the Dailies!
Catfish remind me of Noodler’s Ink. I think this guy could eat the Noodler’s Ink catfish mascot, though! You sure get a lot of detail onto a 4×6 paper!
Thanks, Nycteris.
I saw that show and it is mind-boggling how they pursue this sport.
How would you like to have been the first person to ever try their hand at noodling?! This seemed like a good idea to them!?
As for detail:
I use relatively small brushes. A number 4 or five round and a no. 1 I think for the smallest stuff.
