Hanna's Pigment Book

Hanna.wash on painting in watercolour, mostly.

Bobbin and the sketchbook

It was a damp week, so I spent most of it working wet into wet from the window. I think the lesson is to slow down with the masking fluid, again. I spent the whole morning stretching paper and didn't regret a minute of it. Doing it by the river made a real difference.

October notes on layering glazes

So I mixed a better green and waited. I did the boring part first: mixing greens.

I took a photo, but it doesn't really show a loose, lively study. The notebook says 11 brush, which is about what I expected. I wrote it all down: 16 sketches, 29 colours, and a note to be more patient.

The brush looked fine, and then suddenly it didn't. Thanks, as ever, to Leif for putting up with me.
