Hello Anders, thanks for visiting my blog, you have some interesting work on display here. I'll go and watch your video next.
Regarding my greens on my paintings, I always found greens difficult to get right but now I use the following. W and Newton Permanent Sap Green and I add a little sepia or Quinacridone Gold depending on what shade I want. I've found sap green very useful, but knowing W and N they'll change it again soon and I'll be back to square one. Best regards, John.
Wonderful watercolors, glad to have found your blog, of course I'm already following it. I agree with the description you did about watercolour behavior, that's the reason we like it and paint it.
How come you get stuck to watercolour?
For me its about curiosity and an exiting travel in chaos and order. The colour hue, the paper, the moist in the brush, the individuality in colours and your feelings make the watercolour so direct. You are always a few brush strokes from a flat muddy mixture with no interest.
Sometimes the colour seems to blend in a chaotic way. And under the drying process the character change every second. Make a test and put Ultramarine and Burnt Umber together in a mixture. Sitt an enjoy the drama on the paper while the mix drys. That’s how you get stuck to watercolour.
