Are y'all tired of #ColorSwatches yet? π These #Watercolor #SwatchCards are for mixes I'm particularly intrigued by. I saw someone make little mixing "flashcards" and that was cool but I wanted something that I could sort by either color and read either way... so I came up with this design. π I like that they're small and sleek and you can read the top color no matter which way you turn it. Now I need to make a design for 3+ colors mixed together... π€
Magnetosphere
Detailed Study, Oil, 8x 6 inches
Available tomorrow morning on http://www.EveryDayOriginal.com
Without our magnetosphere to protect us, the solar wind may have long ago stripped away Earthβs atmosphere, leaving Earth looking much more like Mars looks today: barren, dry, and lifeless.
β¨β¨Most of us donβt spend much time thinking about our magnetosphere, but itβs one of the many extraordinary things that make life possible on our little world.
Throwback to these Koroks I sculpted back in December for my boyfriend's birthday π One of my favorite projects ever!

Imagine #libraries don't exist, but there's this person who thought of them and is trying to convince everyone else about them.
-Borrow books for free? People are going to steal them!
-You can just come in to use a computer? Well that's just going to be abused by freeloaders.
-Staff? Who is going to pay them? Why should my taxes be wasted subsidising access to books for people who haven't saved and bought their own?
How many amazing things do we dismiss? What is our society missing out on?
OMG That wore me out π© I took a "however long it takes me" approach and that was a mistake π . Please forgive the terrible proportions on that face, these truly are color studies and it shows π That storefront is basically an abstract at this point. I improvised some clouds on the landscape and I think it saves it. The critter turned out the best I think and took the least amount of time! These are all 2" - 3". #CuratorPrompts #CuratorPrompts38 #Watercolor #ColorStudies
There really aren't a lot of violet pigments are there? My go to for over a decade has been #GrumbacherAcademy 's #PV23 #Mauve. A student grade paint! And yet I haven't met a purple yet that I've liked more. π The ultramarine violet and ultramarine red (both #DanielSmith #PV15) make very pretty mixes, so they got added to the roster as well. #LunarBlack was a fun find and I'm looking forward to making some dark and moody separating mixes with it. :3 #Watercolor
I struggled to appreciate #PB29 #Ultramarine while using #WinsorAndNewton 's green shade version. I tried #MGraham 's #UltramarineBlue and instantly understood the hype. What a huge difference! #Watercolor #Pigments #SwatchCards
I have almost all of these on my #Watercolor #Palette! The only one I left out was #Qor #PhthaloTurquoise since it's essentially a convenience mixture (I have both #PB15 and #PG7 on my palette). Lots of granulating #Pigments here, which I still find challenging to work with sometimes, but I couldn't pass up those unique hues!!!
Time for green! The whole top row made it onto my #Watercolor #Palette. I was really missing out not having #PG18 #Viridian all this time! From the bottom row, only #Qor #GreenGold and #DaVinci #PerlyneGreen made the cut. ππΏ Does anyone know the best hashtag for color swatches and the like? π€
I have a few of these yellows on my #Watercolor #Palette, but truthfully I don't use them much... they're mostly on there for mixing purposes, haha! #Sennelier #SophieYellow just replaced the #AzoYellow that I used for a long time. I don't know that I could explain my reasoning, I just... like it better! And of course that #Qor #QuinacridoneGold... π©βπ³ππ
Next up, warm reds, oranges, and browns. That #Qor #PyrrolRed was a nice find, I had been looking for a vibrant red to add to my #Watercolor #Palette that was cooler than #PR188. The #DanielSmith earth tones are very nice to work with, I like that they're super rich and luscious. π₯° They replaced burnt sienna and burnt umber on my palette because I realized I just never use them. Out with the old, in with the new!
Today I thought I'd share my meager #Watercolor #SwatchCard collection, starting with magentas and cool reds. I didn't like #CobaltViolet when I first tried it, but it's grown on me and since made it's way onto my #Palette. Lots of #PV19 - #Quinacridones are super versatile and vibrant, and I love them! π
Wasn't keen on the planets in this one, but I really like how the nebula came out
