#WaterColourSetBasic

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.

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.

The Jain's Death and Rebirth in Water Colours

After reading "The Jain's Death", a comic suggested earlier today by @RussSharek, I wanted to paint two scenes from it.
Page 26, depicting a tiger hidden among jungle foliage at night, and page 45-g, showing some kind of a geothermal energy explosion or eruption, stood out the most to me. They also both had a limited hue palette, and were quite contrasting, which suited me well as I have been wanting to try a couple of fairly #monochromatic paintings in preparation for #huevember, after seeing @dona's huevember creation.

So, I hope you will enjoy my #painting The Jain's Death and Rebirth in Water Colours.

A water colour pad lying on a table, surrounded by decorative things. The A5 pad contains two water colour paintings side by side, in contrasting colours. On the left is a fiery energy eruption; a white-hot pillar of energy in the middle, with a golden, orange plasma ball in the middle, and orange-red flames shooting out towards the edges. On the right is a cold blue and black night scene of a tiger stalking in a thick jungle. You can barely make out its head, striped upper body, and claws; its golden eyes however are piercing through through the night, locked onto you, and it's obvious this predator can clearly see you. To the right of the art pad is a tin box with 12 half pans of water colour paints, various well-used mixing compartments, and a set of three brushes resting on top of it. Its lid is resting against a tea glass which contains golden brown tea. Above the pad is a mirror which reflects the paintings and part of the water colour paint half pans. To the left of the mirror is a glass of water with some mint and wild flowers resting in it.
