Watercolour artist Susan Chiang taught a class called ‘Shifting greens: one base green, two herbs’. This was another class where I was doubtful because I’m generally an abstract or semi-abstract artist. Susan described her pieces as ‘playful and loose’ but they looked very precise to me!
I used ultramarine turquoise mixed with cadmium yellow pale for one, and mixed with raw sienna for the other.
I’m particularly pleased with the parsley, and think the sage would have been improved by adjusting the design. I’m tempted to keep playing with this idea, because I’d love to improve my realism skills.
