How to mix Lavender in watercolor (plus, a new theme song?)

Mix your very own lavender watercolor. In the floral world, lavender is a light purple with a hint of blue. In watercolor, it is more blue than purple. Regardless, it has many uses. This versatile color is great for shadows, skies, backgrounds, and more. If lavender isn’t really your cup of tea, feel free to skip ahead to 4:11, where I test out a new theme song for the channel.

    I am currently using the Etchr Perfect Sketchbook Signature Series with Fabriano Artistico 100% cold press watercolor paper. B5 portrait. I love it and for those of us in Europe who cannot get our hands on the Kilimanjaro, I think it is the perfect alternative without having tried the Kilimanjaro, but based on your description.

    Cheap Joe used these all the time when he came to classes in Boone. I love Kilimanjaro but I go through too much paper painting 30 portraits or more a week so the cost would be prohibitive. I use what was Cheap Joes fav before he made the Kilimanjaro books. Kilimanjaro is his brand and sold nowhere else. Neither is the loose Kilimanjaro. The book I use was Joe’s fav from before he made his own books Bee Papers super aquabee. Runs abt 20 for the size u like 9x12 only in portrait. 90# paper which eventually dries almost smooth. I suppose I could iron it but not going to bother. Oddly I do not like bee papers 140#paper nearly as much.

    I am so excited to have seen your video title about a new BEST not so known watercolor sketchbook. I am embarking into the world of watercolors and watercolor and other specialtiy things like that for my mediums. I also want to incorporate mixed media throughout my life journals. I am a writer as well and was thinking that I would need to remove the pages tp place them into another holder in order to include the writing. What would your suggestions for that be? I am so creative that deciding upon just.one.thing is nearly impossible. I AM going to purchase a few of these notebook. I believe in the singular experience of creating your own notebooks as well. I am going to follow you. I have a number of other sketchbooks that I bought for a college class that are unused. I figure that they will need to be worked into the group. of journals for swatching or sketching.

The one im nearest to is actually attached to their warehouse from which they conduct all of their online business, and its their "outlet" store. Its my favorite place to go and stock up on watercolor supplies! Im like many who continue using Arches paper because almost everything else i try has something about it i dont like. The only one ive actually liked as much as Arches is Saunders. Well, on my last trip to Cheap Joes Outlet a few weeks ago, i purchased my first Killamamjaro paper ever, and it happens to be this exact sketchbook! I havnt used it yet but now im overwhelmed with excitement to open it and get going! Btw...your colorwheel painting is awesome! What a beautiful and inspirational cover!

      Actually now I think back - I did have one or two dropping out. It was W&N Burnt Umber ! ..I think the reason is because I had'nt used the palette for a few months and they dried.. I had a few drippy ones too. Schmenkie ?.. lovely paints but they can be very drippy. The nice thing about that aluminium palette is it will never rust.
