Paper: Bee Paper - 100% cotton

Colours: Amaranth; Rust Red; Noir - All by Artista

Brushes: #6 round & #6 long round

Very enjoyable study. Painted over 4 sessions learning not only about water control & shape, but also my paints, brushes and paper. By completion, I knew the best success at the desired shapes would happen with calm and focused attention using the #6 long round brush. Also, using a minimum amount of strokes and paying attention to the water in my brush really helped.

 

Paint: Various Colors from Da Vinci Scratchmade Pan Set leftover in pallet from swatching new paints

Brushes: #6 Round & #00 for lettering

Again, a very calming, enjoyable exercise. Beginning to notice an improvement of water control. Painted over two sessions, the fluid lines taking enough concentration and hand-control that my hand began to shake after awhile.
