Here is February's, slightly late, installment of the birthstone challenge. If you didn't see January's please take a look at that one below. I made the video shorter this time so it wouldn't be quite so long to watch.
I am unable to tell you all the colours I used in the painting because I mixed a lot of purples before I finished. I have listed as best as I can below:
Matthew Palmer Natural Grey
Cotman Lamp Black
Daniel Smith Quinacridone Gold
Winsor and Newton Burnt Umber
Daniel Smith Hansa Yellow
Daniel Smith Phthalo Blue (Green Shade)
Daniel Smith Pyroll Crimson
Daniel Smith Pyroll Scarlett
Winsor and Newton Dioxine Purple
Caran D'Ache Supra Colour Watercolour Pencils:
Mauve
Violet
I used the following paint brushes:
Escoda Pearla Size 8
Matthew Palmer Branch and Detail Brush
SAA Masking Fluid brush set
SAA Gold Size 6 round
I hope you enjoyed and if you have any questions, please do get in touch.
I will be back shortly with March's installment which I am currently working on.
As a side note, I am selling prints of the bookmarks if anyone is interested.
I know it has been a long time since I posted anything but it has been a very mad and chaotic year and a half. I am currently training as a solicitor so unfortunately I don't have much time to craft or post. However, I really wanted to share my new project.
The new project is inspired by Art ala Carte on YouTube. She is currently doing a series based on the birthstone of the month. I decided I would do a bird bookmark every month based on the birthstone of that month.
This is the results of the first one.
