Description Pure watercolor goodness. This is what I do when I'm trying to use up a set of watercolors in a metal prang tin (I think it was a gift from my great aunt Lydia cuz she didnt want it anymore). XD Actually I kinda debated uploading this, but I'm still in the process of working on my commissioned piece so I can't really upload that now can I? lol

Anyway, doing fun rainbow studies like this show how color tends to be circular. An example, if you start with Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple...what do you go to next? Red of course. Because Red and blue make purple, and then you can start the process all over again. Okay this might not make sense to you, but it makes complete sense to me as I experiment with color interaction. :3

I really need to use up the color in those tins. :< Theres alot of ORANGE left over and I use orange super sparingly (cuz I dislike it so much. Brown is awesome tho! (dark form of orange)). ^_^;;;

I love this, it's so colourful and vibrant, the shape of it reminds me of a swan
Really beautiful work!

XD I guess it kinda does look like a swan (the neck is a little angular rather than graceful/majestic). ;

Thank you! I should probably do more experiments like these. >D Or at least let the paint have fun every once in a while. ;
