I am so excited to have remembered that I have a small basic set of Prang watercolors that I brought with me to school. If I remember correctly, they used to be my grandfathers and thus are quite old. The ancient-looking 89-cent sticker is still mostly attached.
The colors work wonderfully though. They are so pigmented, flow nicely, and don't feel chalky at all when they dry. They also do that thing where washes are outlined by a thin strip of more opaque paint. These paintings were all done using the new colors. I may mix them with my old colors for now to get more color variation, but I'm trying to use the Prang set as exclusively as I can.
So here is my memory portrait and 2 in-class paintings I did to experiment with the colors!
Also, boo epson for destroying a little bit of color intensity. I'm too lazy to photoshop though...working on my big landscape.
