Emerald Rock
🕑 Added 2022-07-06 13:26:48 +0000 UTCWatercolor & Ink. Painting of a coastal scene with a Selkie. Originally I had planned to fill in the rock like normal, but decided to make it transparent to add extra interest to the image and to challenge myself a bit. I haven't figured out how to get the "full-bodied" color I like from digital, but there is a certain texture and the way that colors mix in watercolor that I think is unbeatable.
My cellphone camera is a bit crummy, but at least I remembered to take some process shots this time :o
[EDIT: 9/16/2022] I adjusted the colors of the scan and got it to look really close to how it looks in person! I've made this the first image in the set, though I've left the old colors up too.
