While staying for a week in Goleta on the Central Coast of California, I decided to see how I could do just using my smaller watercolor set--12 colors versus my larger 35 color set (which I thought I couldn't do without). Here's three I did there.
 |
Rose Beds This was done from the 2nd floor balcony where we stayed, looking down on the backyard garden. |
 |
| Coral Tree Also done from the balcony, looking across the neighbor's yard and beyond. |
 |
| In process: Zig Kure Taki set I've had for decades. |
 |
| Snail on Swiss Chard Leaf |
Marvelous color!
ReplyDeleteGlad you think so, Barbara.
DeleteThese turned out very pretty, sometimes less can be better.
ReplyDeleteYours is wisdom spoken, Tracey.
DeleteMarcia, a wonderful exercise with delightful results. 12 colors or less is my usual...sometimes only three to five!
ReplyDeleteAha! 3-5!!! A new challenge for me for the future, perhaps, Cathy. Varying 3 and varying 5, depending on the subject or season? Or the same?
DeleteCongrats on a great series of colorful sketches. My field box holds 12 colors.
ReplyDeleteDo you stay with the same 12, Michael?
