In preparation for my hiking/biking/painting trip to Sutton I made some changes to my palette which involved moving a bunch of paint around and refreshing the wells. I used the extra paint to make these small landscapes in quick succession. This one draws upon the style of Van Gogh, who developed the interlocking brush stroke technique with the spinning disk sun.
Troll Fire, watercolour 5 x 7" cold press, August 2021 (No. 2755b)
Using a similar technique, but with a forest theme and balanced colour scheme.
Wand Blast Forest, watercolour 5 x 7" cold press, August 2021 (No. 2767b)
Moving around burnt sienna is always messy, it is a very strong paint. It scans slightly red though, the actual painting is more dark caramel than it appears.
Tree Be Me, watercolour 5 x 7" cold press, August 2021 (No. 2753b)
Finally the Sutton palette. The only significant change was to remove caput mortum (PR101) which is a dull, thick, red paint, and replace with a second blob of yellow (PY154). I also moved raw sienna over to the earth area (top left) and shifted the other earths around. The bottom doesn't change. You can practically see the forest already with all those browns and greens!
