and hy tumblr. Little color nerdy things today
so I hath over the past weeks accumulated a few new art supplies which I've post about on twitter but I don't have enough room there to express my color theoriiiiesss.
internet has convinced me that I guess I do kinda like swatching..I guess its relaxing even though I thought they were dumb videos but here we are. So I've decided to create me a swatch book because...I'm wasting a lot of sketchbook space on swatching colors...when I'm trying to make decorative sketchbooks here.
so I purchased a few new pencils to add to my collection. I don't use colored pencils that largely...but these ones looked beautiful. I had to get standard black (the colored pencil I do abuse the most) and a white just to test it. These are the first luminance I've ever used. So I look forward to doing something with these.
and then the watercolors. So I don't own any Winsor and Newton watercolors. Purchased these on a whim because they look like spring. I was expecting them to be..pastel-y..tho...little bit of a disappointment..HOWEVER! I purchased holbein titanium white watercolor (which is toxic yay), and guess what happens when you merge white with other colors..you get pastel-y colors lmao. These are now practically as opaque as my acryl gouaches and I think I'm going to make halfpans of them. blessed creaminess.
and then I painted a ferret. I actually did use a bit of my pink (and accidentally lavender) in my ferret. But mostly it was holbein and turner acryl gouache. I did another longboi because twitter taught me how to easily merge large paintings together when they're too big for the scanner and bravo..it works. I posted it on tiktok which is username Dausypoo btw.
