Watercolor Studies

When I am pressed for time or feeling sick I revert to painting watercolor studies. This is a photograph from my multi-media, Holbein sketchbook.

There seems to be an endless array of pigment combinations available to the modern watercolor painter. However, to arrive upon a tried and true color combination for use in your watercolor painting takes patience and practice.

Currently, I like the colors used in the lower right watercolor. I used only two pigments: sepia and pthalo blue. The combination of drybrush and the cool colorations appeal to me.
