This paper is not sized like watercolour paper and it’s sucking up all my paint! but I’m getting such soft and complex colours because of that… but I’ve lost a lot of my contrast and smaller highlights from the way the paper lets the paint spread into it like a sponge. So it’s definitely time to start bringing back some contrast with white gouache. hopefully i don’t overdo it!
Also, I’ve been meaning to get a better work lamp for these bigger pieces. here’s a photo that better captures what it feels like working at my desk at night:
i think i need one of those long arm florescent tube drawing lamps – anyone have a recommendation?
