All set to swatch these watercolors…

All set to swatch these watercolors as my NostrArtstr November Art Challenge: Play with Color. 🎉

Or not … because apparently tube watercolors can separate if you leave them alone for, ah, 2 years. 😅

After reading some online articles of how this happens, it’s not a big deal, and you can remix the pigment and the arabic gum together again with a paper clip, I got to swatch some reds. 🎉

I have 3 more reds, but want to let these dry before turning the page.

And yes, that cad red pale is way orange, but it had “red” in the name so I pulled it into this set. Since I listed them in manufacturer’s order in the book, I assume the oranges will fill out the rest of that page. I just wanted to start with red. 🔴
