Thanks, Laura. I was pleased with both of these - which is rare for me! Ha ha. Still playing with the granulating colors and thinking about mermaids and djinns, too, for inspiration :)
So which of the granulating colors are you most enjoying? Inspired by you I recently bought two Schmincke granulating colors: glacier turquoise and deep sea black
Laura, I always have the Lunar Black (Daniel Smith), Lunar Earth on my palette, but have added some blues: DS Lunar Blue, Blue Apatite Genuine, Mayan Dark Blue (oh, and keep Moonglow and Shadow Violet on my palette, too). Also…some greens…Green Apatite Genuine, Jadeite Green, Cascade Green…I think I may have more granulating colors than not but most are trial tubes of just 5 ml (not that those aren’t pricey, too). I got a gift card from Cheap Joe’s for my birthday in January - and can’t spend it because every time I check the DS watercolor tubes, they are Out of Stock (on over 100 colors)!! I contacted the company asking if they were going to discontinue carrying DS and was told no…that it was a manufacturing/shipping problem BUT Dick Blick has all the colors so I think it was an ordering problem on Cheap Joe’s end. I wonder, since Joe died last year, if the company is not being run as well? They are going to lose business if they can’t keep items in stock. If I had a local art supply store (other than Hobby Lobby or Michael’s), I would just go there.

These are both beautiful. I love that jay's pose, so alert! And the driftwood is so 3d!
