Watercolor doodle drawn with a large
Niji waterbrush and the
Daniel Smith watercolor sticks.
Making washes of the secondary triad by spritzing some water on a convenient 3-well porcelain palette and then simply scribbling with the sticks in a circular motion on the wet surface. The more scribbling, the stronger the wash gets. If the wash gets too strong, simply spray more water to dilute it. For mixing colors, one could just scribble in the well with a second stick to create another hue without causing unnecessary wear on your watercolor brushes.
Doodling an underwater scene with the still wet sticks to produce marks with more interesting textures on a
watercolor Moleskine journal.
Used an old trusty
#4 Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Pointed Round watercolor brush to blend the dry strokes, sketch with the prepared washes from the porcelain palette, and to pick up pigment straight from the other
watercolor sticks.
The dried washes on the palette can easily be reactivated with a spray from the atomizer bottle.
The re-wet pigment can readily be used for further color sketching, and the palette washes can be strengthen as needed by grinding the watercolor sticks in them again.
