Time for a little palette cleanser, this one is called 'Wake and Shape' since I completed it this morning. There is some old marketing slogan called 'Wake and Bake' which is like hash browns or grits, actually, more like cannabis, but that's just what I could find on the internet. In this case, it was shapes being created, using a variety of colours including a 'new' paint I picked up recently called Antique Russet Brown (PR101) by Holbein. It is part of their discontinued antique watercolour set, that set is now being sold as a gauche set. Gauche is like watercolour but much thicker. You can see the brown colour in the wood-branch elements, it is a very neutral brown like coffee with milk. Over top I applied vanadium yellow (PY184) and equally dense version of yellow that is great for concept pieces, and it really pops yellow on the scan more than other yellows it seems. This was the last piece of paper from the watercolour paper pad, although there are a few backs of painting to work with, it may be time to get a new pad of this paper to continue the experimental abstract paintings.
