My watercolor work has been all consuming - i haven't touched oil since my pulp illustrations for Vin DeFate. I did the drawing on the bottom during a New Year's Eve gathering in the Moleskine. I'm hoping to discover some new things about washes and limited pallet. If you check the previous post, I did a two color piece with red and yellow that got me thinking very hard about those old illustrations with limited color use. Check out some of the old NC Wyeth pieces, which are basically grisaille with yellow knocked in for enhancement. I'm not that limited, but i do want to keep it as simple as possible. I used two base colors for the broad wash, then the addition of one more and the paper-mixed derivatives that developed.
