Color Making Accident
Dec. 6th, 2022 04:04 pmNOOOO!
This is... a watercolor making catastrophe. :( The plan was to make a useful three-color set of pre-mixed basic skintones from transparent pigments (PY154, PR209, PB60) and give them to artistically inclined friends for Christmas. That... is not going to happen.
It's not quite as bad as it looks, as the colors are perfectly useable. I just somehow made the binder with too much water, so the colors lost too much volume when drying and, well, cracked badly. Technically, not a quality problem at all - but the result looks seriously crappy and can't be given as a gift. Oh well. Looks like at least I won't have to buy skintone watercolors next year... LOL
You are allowed to laugh. :)
