Midterm Portfolio: 2 Traditional Watercolors

With caffeine pill #1 consumed. It is time for the watercolor segment of our show! I'm gonna have to say my best two were the vogue esque woman in monochromatic blue and the old green Chevy. The woman I think was a good move for me away from a super tight control of pigment. I utilized both various strengths in pigment and the white of the page to show a pretty large range of shades. Also, I sold this one, so there is that. The car was chosen because of the varying pigment choices as well, however here, I used like 10 different greens and none were straight out of the tube. I think I handled the sky pretty well too. Also, the car is actually brown, so I am technically using non local color, even though it might not seem like it.
