Still working on this darker watercolor mode; I think I see now that I need to get back into using purple as the deepest shadows, since optically that's kind of how these blue and red watercolors I'm using workthe purple mix of the two easily goes the darkest. I've been trying to use pure blue or red for the shadows and they just don't really go as dark as I'd like; you can get them darker by layering multiple applications of them, which is what I've done in the past three pages, but layering tends to result in a somewhat dirty or muted look, especially if you layer different colors on top of each other as I did today (purple over blue and red in the background). So yeah! Gotta get in touch with my dark purples.
