| 11/13/13 Still life M N O. Platinum Carbon ink, Van Gogh watercolors, Fabriano hot-press paper |
In my ongoing series of alphabetical still lifes, I present M N O.
Technical note: This is my first test of the 140-pound Fabriano hot-press paper I bought the other day. The sizing takes Platinum Carbon ink without incident, and
the paints sink into the surface at about the same rate as all the cold-press
papers I’m used to, so it behaved predictably based on my experience. I had to
rewet the paper a couple times in one spot and lifted color in another spot,
and all was well. So far, so good.
Nice sketch...can I borrow the lemon??? Keep these coming. Glad the paper worked well for you.
ReplyDeleteI think the colors look more vivid that on any of the other watercolor papers you've used so far. :) The lemon really came out nice.
ReplyDeletebut it's an orange!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite papers Tina. I'm loving the alphabet work and can't wait to see what you've got planned for X!
ReplyDeleteDana, you get the prize for correctly identifying the fruit! :-) I guess I need to work on my color mixing skills!
DeleteVery nice, Tina! Great composition, too. I'm intrigued by your alphabet still-life idea.
