I’ve been trying to follow my more inscrutable whims, and found this ref on unsplash that seemed both epic and goofy at the same time, and had to paint it.
I painted this on stonehenge cotton rag printmaking paper; this isn’t the best paper for watercolour and I needed to add white gouache to get this piece wrapped up, but I’m decently pleased with it still!
Once again I used a very limited palette – cobalt blue chromium, chinese orange, anthroquinone red, lemon yellow, indanthrone blue, van dyke brown, perylene green, cobalt green deep – and white gouache, and a few spots here and there of other paints as I tried out expanding my palette and then dialed it back usually immediately to this core range.
