Got The Blues

Aren’t these colours pretty? Even the names are evocative: Peacock, Iris, Hyacinth, Turquoise and True Blue Dr. Ph. Martin’s Radiant Concentrated Water Colour – my favourite brand. I much prefer liquid water colour to tubes or blocks. They’re easy to revive too, after they dry out in the palette. Sometimes I am happy to use water colour pastels and pencils.

These blue pools in my ceramic egg crate paint palette are getting washed out. Just like our blue skies are being washed out by endless rain. Come back summer!
