Many of the Daniel Smith Watercolor brand paints granulate beautifully. I love all the earth/mineral pigments he uses. <br />Hugs,<br />MOMElsie Hickey Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376543742728420811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726939419554373493.post-7852542731904143302010-06-17T11:19:07.262-07:002010-06-17T11:19:07.262-07:00Oh, darn, I lost my comment just as I was about to...Oh, darn, I lost my comment just as I was about to post it. I'll have to try to rewrite it. Anyway, very nice!! I love the rich jewel tones, and the plumage has nice detail without being fussy. The foliage is good, although I have to say that I slightly prefer the version you sent me where you used the gold thread paper for texture; more playful. But the way you got the pigment to precipitate out in granular layers in the lower left corner of this one is just brilliant. That's an effect that I can only ever achieve by accident; it never happens when I try to do it.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065377267682881396noreply@blogger.com
