Ken Oliver pill palette

Does this look like an OCD person spent the entire day making this pill palette for my color burst? Well, that is exactly what happened and it makes me so HAPPY just to look at it! 

I made one a few weeks ago and decided to put liquid inks on one end. Proceeded to tip the sob first night and ruined it!

So, ordered some more Ken Oliver and washed the mess and started over. This one turned out really well because I had practiced. 

Watercolor

I almost gave up at this point, but pushed through by adding a layer of india ink inktense pencil over the colorburst background. Then it seemed too flat and not near enough green.

I'm not sure this is considered watercolor because I used gesso in the last couple of layers. It was so flat that I just grabbed a small brush and added more leaves over the water colored background then after drying, added even more watercolor over that. I like it now even though I have a feeling that I'm breaking all the rules. I'm self taught, so ignorant about what you should or should not do.

Not that I follow rules mind you. "Don't tell me what to do!"

Day two Ken Oliver Color Burst Paint

I did a bunch of backgrounds by applying it directly to wet paper and then did a more controlled version with the powders puffed out on palette. I really like my last version. Finally worked with my molotow resist and it is great stuff!

I need lots of practice but I'm loving this paint even though it does not match the color titles.  Also, it is really hard to just puff the correct amount onto the wet  page because some colors are much heavier.
