Had a wet day to paint .. and made some headway on this watercolor.
The good news is... I found a great pigment to work with-- OLD HOLLAND Mars Yellow. It behaves like my old paint..and wasn't at all frustrating!
So.. I have added it to my stable of colors. My journey of finding suitable pigments is slowly evolving.
Colors is this painting:
Old Holland Mars Yellow
Winsor/Newton Green Gold
Quin Magenta
Winsor Green
Dioxazine Purple
French Ultramarine Blue

Yummy!!! So glad you are finding colors you like that do what you need.
Such purity of colour in the washes - really look forward to seeing how you decide to finish it.
This one is shaping up to be yet another winner! THANK YOU for sharing your process and your palette!
