#art #traditional art #watercolour #oc art #ocs #oc group: lia crystal darling #oc: lia #i dont have any purple paints in my current watercolour set which is surprising because i am a big convenience colour guy #like im so lazy about mixing colours i'll fudge it with layering half the time #so i make purple with some permanent rose and an ultramarine #makes a beautiful vibrant purple as its a red toned blue and a blue toned red together #but also something about maybe the pigment densities? and/or maybe because the rose is a different brand from the ultramarine #and they have different formulas (the rose is w&n and the ultramarine is sennelier and i know sennelier has honey in there LOL) #but like when i mix them if i put in enough water as it dries the pigments bloom and slightly separate and pool in such like #beautiful and interesting ways #other paints will do that a bit but these two do it so wonderfully that i honestly probably never will get a purple LOL #i like my mixed purple too much kkjraelfjrklfedjfkda #so yeah ive been on a purple kick 1) because im in the lia zone and thats like her image colour HJKFDSJFD #BUT ALSO 2) im having too much fun with weird pigment shenanigans #that ultramarine blue deep just does whatever it wants. drags the permanent rose around with it. awesome
