Description Mixed media: gesso, watercolour, gouache, pastel on board

Lately, I have been deciding on the colours I want to use first before painting, and have been loving the results. Limiting my palette has had a very freeing effect on my work, allowing me to solely concentrate on what I am creating and not on what colours I’m going to be using as well. I’ve used a lot of water too which has dictated the shapes and patterns I have used as it flows and moves my paint into its own desired shapes.

I’m going to be exploring this method of painting more, not just because I like the paintings I am producing, but also because I am really enjoying myself.

Thank you, they are an experiment, as I don't use orange very often. I think will in the future.

Thank you. I think I write down the process because I never remember what I have done and rereading what I have written comes in very handy!
