I ran out of time replying to this, so all I’ve got is an analogy. I hope it sparks your imagination. The palette an artist chooses doesn’t determine whether or not they make a good painting.... - Martin...
I like the limited palette. I have been experimenting with blues and grays. I'll post more of my work as soon as I learn more about how the platform works. I'm enjoying the watercolor paints very much. There is so much to learn!... Read the full post - Derek...
