New watercolor sketches from our last Wednesday evening figure drawing group. I was working on Wallis paper, which is lightly sanded, but also primed so it can accept washes of watercolor - up to a limit. (The paper is also a light creamy color...the photos came out a bit cool) If it becomes to wet the surface will start to crumble (in my experience). For these two drawings I used watercolor pencil, one color at a time, and lightly brushed the lines with a damp flat brush.
The palette below is a little different for me - I tend to use brighter colors, but this time I used a steel blue (almost a silver) followed by yellow ochre and then a dark brown. I like the warmth the classic feel of the colors.
