If you've been following my Instagram you'll know I've been exploring new colour combinations lately and blue/purple/magenta came up. I made a quick video of this little mixed media painting coming together in my sketchbook.
There are always learnings to be had from sketchbook time and this one was about Cobalt Blue. It's a super strength prismatic primary colour and very rich, I didn't love it on it's own but with the edges of it knocked off with other colours it felt less dominant.
My usual blue go-to is Phthalo Blue which is cooler and mixes so well with other colours and is less robust than the cobalt in terms of transparency.
I did find some printed papers that, with a nudge of glaze here and there, found their way into this mixed media painting. Enjoy the video of it from start to finish!
