This is one of my favorite models, A.M. and I think I've either painted or made prints (monotypes) from this photo session a dozen times. I think I'm due for another very soon. :-)

I've gone back to the beginning of your blog to read it all in order.
I like the colors.
Since I've been drawing in ink almost exclusively for almost 4 years now -- the tubes in my watercolor box are all rock hard. Some of them are probably 10 years old.
Could you recommend 8 or so essential transparent colors you use? I think I'm going to do some more color for a while.
If you have already posted this list somewhere else, I apologize.
Hi DRB,
Thanks for your compliments. I like color too.
My watercolors are mixed - old and new. Many of them were also rock-hard - given to me by an elderly friend who switched mediums back in the late 70's. They sat in a shoe box in my garage for a few decades while I worked a non-art career. When I picked up a brush again in 2001, I sliced the tubes open with an exacto knife, and placed the hard rolls of pigments in the wells of my palette, in a shallow puddle of water. Once they had dissolved, I stirred them into a flatter shape for easier brush-application, and let them dry again. All of my paints are dry, in the open air in my studio. I use Winsor Newton, Graham and Maimeri, and the colors I used the fastest are french ultramarine blue, cerulean blue, burnt sienna, yellow ochre, cad red, viridian green, hooker green, alizerin crimson, new gamboge, cad yellow and Sepia.
I hope that helps. I enjoy your blog. :)
Ok then! Now I'm looking for my exacto knife.
