I was going to do more with this piece, because my values aren't quite right yet. My goal was to try out a triad of Azo Yellow, Pthalo Blue & Quinacridone Violet, and to play with mixing the colors by slowly building up glazes. Things were starting to get a little muddy, and I thought -another triad that doesn't work. Then I came across Diana Trout's Watercolor primer Part 7, and she mentioned that 'mud' can come over too much scrubbing. I do scrub.
So I stopped, feeling I'd probably already started the damage, and would probably just do more if I continued. I did get some of the feeling of light that I wanted though.
I'm going to go back and revisit my triads, being very careful not to scrub and see what happens. Ah, I love it when a mere sentence happened upon makes you rethink what you are doing!
