I have treated myself to a new watercolour paint tube - Daniel Smith Duochrome Mauve which has luminescent properties. So far I have used it to paint wisteria, the little kitten and this owl. Whilst this is not probably a colour you would normally think of using to paint an owl, I was intrigued to see the luminescent effect and it definitely warms up what could be quite a cool painting. By using colour, lost edges for indicating movement and a combination of white paper versus deep blue for my darkest tone, I looked to achieve the effect of him stopping to focus on something......
Have a great weekend all.
Absolutely gorgeous Kaye - love the effect you've achieved with this new colour; definitely warms the picture up.
