Day 02: #30x30DirectWatercolor: Cadmium Orange Deep
June 2, 2023
Day Two; testing my paints! It’s a simple sketch, but sometimes simple is best in watercolor. It’s just a framework for the water to do it’s natural blending.
I remain amazed how easy it is to make your own paints. I honestly didn’t think they’d be as good as a commercial paint, but in fact, they’re probably better. They disperse wonderfully, and have so much pigment strength!

I am fascinated with your process of making your own watercolors. I am intrigued and may start trying to make my own colors as well. Thanks for the inspiration!
It is very appealing to make watercolors yourself. I still have different pigments from the time when I ground my oil colors myself and I will try that now. Thanks for the inspiration and the recipe.
