some experiments

mushing paint together in various ways to see how things resolve.

couple more

these were all 20 minutes of not really knowing what i was doing

i ran out of ultramarine right before i started this (below), which limited my palette even further and forced me to reverse the primary and secondary light sources. so, all in all a happy accident.

this was on hot press paper...oof - a harsh mistress!

figure drawing again

these turned out way better than they had any right to. watercolor and gouache 1, 2, and 5 minute poses.  i went back in a little later to hit up the darkest darks as well as a little color variation (otherwise everything was too wet).
