When I am pressed for time I find it is good to squeeze in at least a little watercolor painting each day. This little watercolor book by Cachet is full of landscape paintings. I broaden my palette mixing on these paintings.
Recently, I read up on mixing darks in watercolor so I began putting down various samples. Some of my favorite darks are the result of these mixes: burnt sienna/ ultramarine blue, ultramarine blue/cadmium red /aureolin and burnt umber/ultramarine blue.
It makes me think about the composition at the same time. Also, I believe it develops my brushwork along the way.
