A 365 day art project… one drawing a day
I saw these beautiful tulips yesterday at a big annual yard sale we attend each year in historic Hilton Village:
And came up with this little sketch based loosely on them:
A few things I don’t like much about this, but I still love the way the QoR paints inspire play, and the lovely granulation coming from the tiny addition of EEM’s ‘Tia’. (See my previous several posts for more about Eventually, Everything Mixes watercolor paints.)
Today I used a couple of QoR colors with the handmade EEM paints. I love the combination of dispersion and granulation…
Ohhh, that lovely QoR dispersion… this brown was just the tiniest dot of color added on top of the wet EEM paint, ‘Tia’.
Look at this intense granulation, from the little dabs of ‘Tia’ dropped in here and there.
Yum.
“Eventually, Everything Mixes” (EEM) is a site with unique handmade paints.I visited the site in search of some extremely granulating colors I saw reviewed on Youtube, but they had sold out by the time I saw the review. (IMPORTANT: I hope you make more, EEM!!!) There were two paints left, Burnt Sienna and Mais, which I purchased. Included in my package were two generous sample dots of copper blue and tia, beautiful coordinating blues (on the green side). Tia is one of the AMAZING granulating paints I want… it is gorgeous. I love the copper blue, too! The full (sized) pans arrived from Germany looking very full indeed and professional executed, along with some German sweets, and 2 large swatched cards of the two purchased colors. In a fancy little box, too. 🙂
Once more colors are up, (if it coincides with the money in my bank account being up!), I hope to be able to purchase many more colors. Very nice. The paints rewet easily and are bold and vivid, without noticeable color shift upon drying. And even with shipping they were reasonably priced, for so much paint.
