Had some alone time today and used it to paint two landscapes from around where I live.
I recently found myself in possession of a tube of indigo from Winsor & Newton. And I do think I rather love it.
Currently I'm working on patience, letting layers dry before painting over them. And I do struggle with this quite a bit. One thing in particular; how to get crisp, defined edges. Where most of the pigment is located close to the edge and less in the center, if that makes sense. I've tried very wet paint on dry, but end up with cauliflowers most of the time (which I do not necessarily dislike). If I do less wet paint, the pigments spread too evenly. I suppose it could have to do with how "active" the pigments are in the mixes. Some seem to settle quite quickly and others like to move around more.
