Did up this little design from some anonymous historic flash during a great painting session at the shop with my ol' pal and coworker Bryan J. Turnbull. Lots of painting going on at the shop these days.
It's fun doing something quick and simple to cap off the end of the day before heading home, recreational-like.
In the process I discovered a watercolor paper to avoid in the future: Montval Canson 140 lbs Cold Pressed. It pills up like an old sweater with even a modest amount of water and spit-shading. When I went to do a final tint wash the diluted pigment floated on the surface as if it was coated with oil. Learn from my mistakes or try it yourself and see how awful it is.
