Artistic Polar Bear Challenge: 100 Ways In 100 Days. #57 - Cool Analogous

Where there's warm, there must be cool to balance it.

Cool Analogous Bear

This time our flavors are Brilliant Yellow Green, Emerald Green, Cobalt Turquoise, and a bit of Pyrrole Crimson to reduce chroma and value.  Yes, I confess, I'm one of those 'I Don't Like Mixing With Black' artists.  Not that I feel I'm losing my artistic soul or anything if I do, I just like more colorful solutions.

Gotta agree with the black statement - especially in watercolor, I think the black usually looks too dull and dirty and much prefer mixing my own "black" - which to me is a relative term.
Only 43 to go!!!

I wish the bear would send some of his coolness our way...we are sizzlin´......I think I need to start doing a dog series....I´d start out with the Dog days of Summer for sure....

Yep, my feelings exactly, Deb.

Cynnie, you are truly a multitalented artist. Your handpainted papers are beautiful, the books are incredible, and your watercolors are gorgeous. I particularly like the Siebentischwald forest winter scene.

And Benny is a cutie, too!

Where in Germany are you?
