Cooper in Watercolor


This is my favorite painting I've done so far. This is the first piece I've done using all professional grade paints.  My little sister sent me some Japanese artist quality paints for Christmas.  Although the pigment isn't as dramatic as others like Windor and Newton, I immediately noticed a huge difference in control with washes and their ability to glaze transparently over other colors.  This means I can use less paint, and underpainting is way more effective.  I will never do another painting with student grade paints again. I actually framed this one and hung it up.
