Here is my palette, looks messy but it is an organized mess. I have mixed burnt sienna & phthalo blue for the rich dark brown, to begin my painting at the lower portion of the vase. I love painting this portion of the vase, knocking in the darks is just a very comfortable way for me to see the beginning of my painting. Next I mix various golden colors using Quinacridone Gold, transparent yellow and a hint of permanent rose. I mix separate puddles of the pigment so that I can have them ready to go as I paint the detail of this vase.
REFERENCE PHOTOI will begin this painting mixing the darkest values for the yellow vase first.
Good Morning - It is 7:45 and this watercolorist is ready to go. Painting early in the morning is wonderful, with no interruptions. Above is a photo of my workspace, clean palettes, brushes, paper towels and of course my line drawing ready to be painted.
