FF X-Zone - Ink & WC




Uniball tinted with watercolor. I paint dark, so my "X-Zone" is to paint as light as possible. This is a real strain for me. Like Dr. Strangelove, I have to grab my hand.

Thinking of it as "tinting" rather than "painting" or "applying a color wash" helps.

The bottom two are from our ImprmSktchDy at Chara's alley.

The top one is my favorite of these "restrained paintings." I drew the picture because of the odd roof on the big house, but then I noticed that the little shop was lavender. Actually lavender. And I was glad I was "tinting" rather than just drawing in black and white.
