I’m a watercolor maker and these are swatches of all the colors I’ve made so far. ♥️

Made a few oranges for pumpkin season. 3 granulating mixes and 3 single pigments.

Paintings using the granulating and separating paints. These were quick small ones just to demonstrate how they performed.

I know there are a lot of two toned colors on the market. I’d always been so interested in them so figured I should make some myself. Which one do you like best?

One of these is the original brown madder (root) , one is pr206, one is my mix to make a version of brown madder. Would you compare the three and tell me which two of the three look close to each other in color?

Done.

I only part way through. I like it and am hoping for a good end result. Any tips on making the husk look natural and dramatic? Any other tips?

Okay, I made one last change. I swapped the blue gray for a gray blue. Ha.

I had been debating about having a purer blue, and seemed like folks gave the same in feedback so I made one to see if it fit and it did! :)

It’s been great for portraits but it also paints so well for landscapes. Putting all the pictures just to show the range and spectrum of skin colors it can achieve.

I’m not generally a portrait painter and I wanted to have mixes which would take the complexity out for those who find them intimidating.

I made a 12 color “portrait” palette to have the entires spectrum of skin tones mixed and ready on hand. Would you use something like this?

On Thursday we drove from Manteca to SF and I made a palette that night based on the colors on the drive. I tried a quick painting and green was missing so I made that tonight. What do you think?

Didn’t realize it was going to “die” some more once I started painting to had to wing some parts

Picked up some leave on my walk and painted one of them.
