#96 Quinacridone Sienna (Watercolor Cityscape Tutorial)

This is another color that I use constantly. I almost eat it. Today we will see how ‪@DANIELSMITHArtistColor‬ Quinacridone Sienna behaves in combination with some other colors from my minimal travel set. For the object, I chose a small nice street in Italy. 13 x 11 inches, Arches paper.

Love all your vids. Two great things about them. First is that you show your workspace and flow. This is very helpful and interesting to see how you approach the wetness and mixing. Second as many have said it is super enlightening to see how a "loose" wet style greatly enhances the result. I would be really interested to see your approach to larger works in future vids.

Wow!! I’m learning so much from you! I haven’t done any serious work using watercolors. I have worked for the longest time with oil, acrylics, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, acrylic and alcohol markers, oil pastels but never with watercolor paints and ink. I have a great desire to start with them. I’m fascinated and very much inspired by your amazing work!
