How much practice took place between these two paintings?
The answer is simple: one Inktober!
In 2024, having started with watercolors only a month earlier, I decided to take part in Inktober with some friends.
I set myself a constraint: I would only create monochrome watercolor pieces, and I wouldn’t reuse any of the paint from my pans.
I drew the same sketch—a titmouse—twice, painting one version just before Inktober and the other just after. By removing color theory from the process, I was able to get a feel for how water behaves and to explore each individual pigment in my palette.
