Also....I only have 9 sketches...because I'm...out of watercolor paper. I can't buy any more until my last scholarship comes in. Maybe some nice soul in my class may let me borrow some...but the paper's going to get pretty precious considering we have to do watercolors at the same frequency that we did the ink sketches.
Speaking of money, I need better watercolors as well. My cheap ones are good for very transparent things or for just getting by for now. However, it is SO hard to get good pigment out of them. I can see what Rusty was talking about now by investing in better watercolors. Gee, I'm going to be so happy when I can finally buy my remaining supplies from Dick Blick.
Some parts of these please me, and others just feel ugly. For these, I ACTUALLY for once sat outside and did watercolors from observation. Yay me! We also had to throw in a color wheel. I don't understand why all of my dry watercolors feel so chalky now though. Maybe it has to do with the paint quality? IDK...we'll see how this goes....
