Been playing with #watercolourpaints to create this landscape - so much to learn though but #learningisfun :)

Watercolour Painting of Mountains and Birds

Got some more #aquarelle #painting done. :)
I started with some wet-on-wet experimenting on the top half, and then had to come up with what I would fill the remainder of the A5 #SøstreneGrene #waterColour paper with.
Ended up with some kind of wet-on-dry river with wet-on-wet beach scene, even though the tones don't quite match the lighting of the sky, I guess. :)

It was good to experiment a bit with techniques though, and to not follow an example directly.

Materials used:

Søstrene Grene acid-free watercolour paper, 20 x A5, 230 grammes
#Panduro #WaterColourSetBasic (just for the #YellowOchre)
#RoyalTalens' #VanGogh #WaterColourPaints (primarily #PrussianBlue, #PermanentYellowGreen, #Gamboge, #PermanentRedDeep, and #VermillionRed)
A variety of brushes; mostly #GreneArt and #WinsorAndNewton

A aquarelle water colour painting of a fiery yet darkish sky, with a variety of distant foliage in dark red, blue-green, brown, orange and purple, with a light and dark blue river with orange, yellow and peach highlights along the riverbanks, with various grasses overhanging the water and sprouting out of the beach.
The top half uses a soft near-blooming wet-on-wet blending style, while the river is more a wet-on-dry strokes visual, with parts of the white paper still visible. The sandy beaches are a soft wet-on-wet again, though without the blooming, and with wet-on-dry details added, such as the (blue)grass patches.

The painting is resting on a wooden floor tiling sample, on top of a heavily corroded metal garden table. The tin of paints with various tones of green and blue-green and murky blue-purple mix swatches still visible underneath the half-pans of Panduro and Royal Talens' Van Gogh paints, along with a couple of brushes and water containers, spray bottle and well-used brush wipe are strewn around the table's surface.
To stay hydrated, an almost-empty Frydenlund 0.5 L glass with honey-ginger water is standing in between it all.

Picked up my package of new #waterColour / #aquarelle #paints today, so it was also time to clean up and re-arrange my #waterColours #painting case.
Added six new half-pans from #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh brand which I'd ordered last week from #Panduro here in Norway.
All of them are new colours to me, so I'm looking forward to swatching them and putting them to use. Some of them are convenience colours (Permanent Yellow-Green and Permanent Orange).
Another is a different shade of red (Vermillion Red, in addition to the Permanent Red Deep from earlier) because I didn't like the ones that came in the Panduro base set.
Others are to try them out and compare them to the ones I already use, such as the Gamboge Yellow 238 (which looked nice and vibrant on the online sample), and Prussian Blue (because it's such an often referenced colour, and I'm not always satisfied with the ultramarine).
And finally some Opaque White, so I don't have to mix guache with my aquarelle paints when I want to add some white.
