February Red Color Project
February was my month to experiment with my cadmium red and alizarin crimson W-N tube watercolor paints. I made several more sketches, but these are representational samples of the type of paintings that were done. The "lion" journal, which I purchased in Venice, was done using a watercolor mask. I was pleased with the process because it actually looks very similar to the handmade cover - imprecise sketching and painting.
