New Gamboge is the latest pigment that I have been experimenting with. New Gamboge mixed with paynes's gray makes a lovely green. However, New Gamboge mixed with burnt sienna or burnt umber can give you a rich, vibrant glowing orange which can really light up your paper.
When you add some blues for the water - it makes a striking composition of color. This makes me want to experiment more.
This Arches watercolor journal is great for just putting down color combinations and developing quick landscapes. This format is great as a way to practice your brush strokes and warming up before painting in earnest.
