Well the experiments continue. The deeper darker red is the Dr. Ph. Martin's Wild Rose & the more orange, in this comparison, red is Winsor Red by Winsor & Newton. The Dr. Ph. Martin's definitely don't respond to salt in the same expansive manner, much more of a subtle texturing instead of a bold patterning. I am also intrigued by the white lines, that are particularly obvious in the spot painting, that surround the interaction of the two paints. It is almost as if they repel each other... Things to notice & push the boundary of. Happy Wednesday Y'all!

Finally an image I am satisfied with. After a week of experimenting with the Dr. Ph. Martin paint I finally had a breakthrough, thanks to something my friend Lydia Makepeace said about how she uses the paint: just use the dropper to apply the pigment directly to wet paper. Ah, the clouds parted & the heavens opened! Such a better working method for this paint. Huge thanks to Lydia for the insight! I persevered with this paint, because the colors are so vibrant & different, than my favorite Winsor & Newton's. I am excited to see where things go now. Happy Tuesday Y'all!
