Painting an Ivy Leaf Part 1
In this ivy leaf project Pt. 1 I would like to show you different ways of applying colour and reaching depth. We will speak about the tonal contrast and I will show you one of many possibilities to work with tone (grisaille). We will mix neutral tones together.
Painting along? You'll need: Preferably cotton paper for watercolor, watercolor paints, 1-2 brushes with fine tip (synthetic or natural bristles), sharp pencil and eraser, two containers with water, white mixing palette (a ceramic plate is perfect), paper towel or paper napkin.

Special: Working on a page in the pigment journal with PB29 Ultramarine finest
Work on a new pigment journal page with me. We will mix our hero pigment with other pigments and produce secondary colours. I will explain, what to expect from the mixes and how to cover as many hues as possible by using just two pigments and water.
