Curious about how this was done? You can find out the special techniques I used next month if you’ve signed up for email updates; I’ll explain more about it in January!
ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #87:
It’s amazing how different the same 3 colors can look! MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #87 and MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #86 were both painted with the same restricted palette of Phthalocyanine Blue (Green Shade), Quinacridone Magenta, and Cadmium Yellow Light Hue acrylic ink. #86 is on Yupo and #87 is on Arches 140 lb. Cold Press watercolor paper. Both feature lots of layers and wet-in-wet mixing. In #86, I used more water and allowed all 3 inks to mix more freely to create a more subdued palette. For added depth, #87 also has a first layer of linear shapes in diluted white ink and an intermediate layer of gloss medium shapes.
