May is here, and with it, we arrived at the season for painting bearded irises! I just finished my Sketchbook #159 with a trip to an Iris Garden and am hoping to add some irises to a new Sketchbook #160 too - it will be Stillman &Burn Alpha 8"x10" in soft cover. I will make a video about the completed sketchbook soon.
I am enjoying lots of experiments right now and will write about some of them if they get to something interesting. At the turn of this month, my limited pencil palette included 5 pencils and a waterbrush filled with blue-gray ink. Pencils are:
1. Prismacolor Dark Purple (931)
2. Caran D Ache Luminance Payenes Gray 30% (504)
3. Prismacolor Rosy Beige (1019)
4. Caran D Ache Supracolor II Soft Brownish Orange (3888)
5. Holbein Jaune Brilliant (122)
The ink mixture was created by washing two bottles of ink that I emptied when refilling my pens so there is no recipe :) But it means that I will be getting some new ink soon!
