This was a random painting using only a few colours. I think in retrospect I could have left it and not added more dark or lifted out the lights and it would have been a painting without a subject but a very soft vibe!

Interesting process and interesting result. You could use this process to create a background to any detailed watercolour work as well.

The colours used were:
yellow ochre
winsor red
mix of winsor blue (red shade) and light red (the colour seemed a little more like the mix I often use of cobalt blue and light red but was darker than that).

This painting was painted on a half sheet of Rives BFK etching paper 280gsm, white. The piece of paper was 38cm x 56cm.

I used multiple hake brushes Holbeine, Ron Ranson and one Atelier (1 inch and 2 inch)
I also used my flat nylon to lift out some lights and my pure kolinsky round sable to lighten off some of the harsh lifted out lights. A small series 7 round sable to sign the work.

I also used:
3M magic tape to secure the paper to the MDF board
spray bottle
tissues
hair dryer
3M magic removable tape

Hope you found this interesting!

Happy painting everyone!

Cheers
