I noticed that sometimes the paints sort of really sink into the paper. Which makes it really easy to blend, but harder to lift. It all depends, of course, on the percentage of cotton and additives in the paper. At the same time I have lots of fun painting even on kids' paper that is half acrylic and is made with recycled materials. The color tends to stay more on the surface than sink on those types of paper creating interesting and unpredictable results. Have you ever experienced this</strong><strong style="font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;">?<br /><br />But, no matter which paper I use, expensive or cheap, what I do require from my paints - is the reliability and knowing what to expect. Most importantly, the joy that I receive when painting with my favorite paints. I don't want to rub and rub and rub into the color and wait until it </strong><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><strong>releases</strong></span><strong style="font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;"> from the binder. I guess, what I am trying to say is that all this time I have been making my handmade watercolors, I still get goosebumps from watching my paints flow and mingle on paper. It makes me proud and happy to make the colors that I myself enjoy using. </strong><br /><br /><strong style="font-family: georgia, times, "times new roman", serif;">Today I would like to share with you my inspiration I received from these few colors when creating this illustration, the Octopus Girl. </strong></em><br />

I used a layering technique which is not exactly my "signature" style. I am more of a spontaneous painter. I love to throw a lot of color on the page and see what happens.<br /><br />This time, I added layers, one by one, watching the colors flow, observing the shimmer versus matt pigment distribution and making my further color decisions as I went on painting.</strong></em><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On this Blue Angel II painting I used blue and lavender shimmer watercolors on the hair and shimmer pinks and peaches in the face of the character. Some Gold was used on the wings. Love the effect!</span></div>

whimsical illustration in gouache<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQmDsjmSL_-IacNwy-vwMjMfagHpBeeLMKkUlWXrOEWLc-K5FkpEmFo_3rT9FRF5_bEnTeHSYCZ3-S1FQWU40ncd0d4DunLCFAhjtki-V7EC_sjTM5LBmHPsJjBgQ_HaoY6XsxejXChDU/s1600/watercolor_trio4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="650" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQmDsjmSL_-IacNwy-vwMjMfagHpBeeLMKkUlWXrOEWLc-K5FkpEmFo_3rT9FRF5_bEnTeHSYCZ3-S1FQWU40ncd0d4DunLCFAhjtki-V7EC_sjTM5LBmHPsJjBgQ_HaoY6XsxejXChDU/s320/watercolor_trio4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The new color combo is:<br />
<br />
ULTRAMARINE BLUE (semi-transparent blue)<br />
<br />
QUINACRIDONE RED (transparent red)<br />
<br />
CADMIUM YELLOW MIDDLE (semi-opaque yellow)<br />
<br />
What? You ask me why I included a semi-opaque color in this trio. Here's my answer: although it is a semi-opaque color, the brilliance of it so great, that by mixing with the other two it creates even higher number of bright and "clean" hues.<br />
<br />
Here are my mixing charts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGSxkxbIdmZYz59aEh5yh4jr6GiQC8zLUT9CeGC3-ly9sFeUQ5GPR55s7IDo7G6_hp5B2wbEZsvGSBV0ciK77OA6Ye32D251CIj_pG9U_KhOLHyGJCyBjFIuIaxkGe3xIaexioj0OPy_8/s1600/watercolor_trio3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="613" data-original-width="650" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGSxkxbIdmZYz59aEh5yh4jr6GiQC8zLUT9CeGC3-ly9sFeUQ5GPR55s7IDo7G6_hp5B2wbEZsvGSBV0ciK77OA6Ye32D251CIj_pG9U_KhOLHyGJCyBjFIuIaxkGe3xIaexioj0OPy_8/s400/watercolor_trio3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Notice that the purples and violets here are slightly brighter than in the previous mix.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find that Cadmium Yellow Middle gives a more "grassy" green when being mixed with Ultramarine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Especially impressive the earth tones, greens and blacks.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRIeBKfXKUrEVUnlJ0HUisiOyDJ7IQ7Mrh3xuP-k-jFW3OmIMZOs-8yoUQpWkBZYqp7ghpKhnn8LL9_4feTwe5815ylrHtsss-Sz8s_YIgeX6MASOw2tZVCCTlGK-iezkX0dDMUkKy8p0/s1600/watercolor_trio5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="650" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRIeBKfXKUrEVUnlJ0HUisiOyDJ7IQ7Mrh3xuP-k-jFW3OmIMZOs-8yoUQpWkBZYqp7ghpKhnn8LL9_4feTwe5815ylrHtsss-Sz8s_YIgeX6MASOw2tZVCCTlGK-iezkX0dDMUkKy8p0/s320/watercolor_trio5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
THESE ARE THE COLORS:<br />
<br />
AUREOLIN (transparent neutral yellow)<br />
<br />
QUNACRIDONE RED (transparent red)<br />
<br />
PHTHALO BLUE (transparent blue)<br />
<br />
<br />
I did a test and ended up with a beautiful array of color mixes, all the way from bright SECONDARY COLOURS (orange, green and purple) to earth tones and blacks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuU_QEa3mtryfJaWy1cW6S4Hs7eHmhSs0DMrEg1EHWdwBfHJXMfGcQCqE7CShGgRyu-I-lH8WoqJ61rRi7JlNcVOc-coWHFhKDe_FzN_MzwJhSPXt9mtRuiPkrdLDYWVrF8xc5obxlRhE/s1600/watercolor_trio6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="573" data-original-width="650" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuU_QEa3mtryfJaWy1cW6S4Hs7eHmhSs0DMrEg1EHWdwBfHJXMfGcQCqE7CShGgRyu-I-lH8WoqJ61rRi7JlNcVOc-coWHFhKDe_FzN_MzwJhSPXt9mtRuiPkrdLDYWVrF8xc5obxlRhE/s400/watercolor_trio6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see from above photo, these color give you very vibrant secondary and tertiary colors. Purple looks pretty deep and the green is a nice mix between phthalo green and hookers green. Orange and Red are one of the difficult colors to mix, however I was able to mix a pretty bright Orange and Red.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Here are beautiful Earthtones, Blacks and Greens. Considering I was just going for very obvious different hues. So the sky is the limit here.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am very excited about the possibilities these colors can mix. <br />They are transparent, so there are very little chances of them to make "mud".</div>

I let the shapes guide me and give me direction to where place my eyes, how big to make them. Some with the lips, nose and the rest of the features.<br />

I used mostly watercolors to create the shadows around the eyes and blocked in the hair. Then added details with a black Conte pencil. And because the eyes nedded some highlights, I added them at the end.</div>

This one had only blocks of watercolor applied to the paper in place of the eyes only. Then the rest of the features "appeared". I love smudging pencils, I believe the one I used here is a graphite pencil and conte black pencil. The hair was done last. </div>
