Dark Tower: The Gunslinger in water colours

Tried my hand at a fairly #monochrome water colour #painting as a practice for #huevember, and as an example for an upcoming experiment: painting with tea.
Ended up using two different colours though, rather than one: #Panduro's #YellowOchre and #BurntUmber.
Three different brushes: a number 12 round brush from #SøstreneGrene, a number 2 flat brush from #GreneArt, and a number 2 round brush probably, though I'm not sure as it had no markings on it.
Painted on 230 grams acid-free A5 watercolour paper from Søstrene Grene.

Painted after the example of #SteveStone's original cover art: https://shop.suntup.press/products/the-dark-tower-i-the-gunslinger-fine-art-print

Got some more #aquarelle #painting done. :)
I started with some wet-on-wet experimenting on the top half, and then had to come up with what I would fill the remainder of the A5 #SøstreneGrene #waterColour paper with.
Ended up with some kind of wet-on-dry river with wet-on-wet beach scene, even though the tones don't quite match the lighting of the sky, I guess. :)

It was good to experiment a bit with techniques though, and to not follow an example directly.

Materials used:

• Søstrene Grene acid-free watercolour paper, 20 x A5, 230 grammes
• #Panduro #WaterColourSetBasic (just for the #YellowOchre)
• #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh #WaterColourPaints (primarily #PrussianBlue, #PermanentYellowGreen, #Gamboge, #PermanentRedDeep, and #VermillionRed)
• A variety of brushes; mostly #GreneArt and #WinsorAndNewton

The Jain's Death and Rebirth in Water Colours

After reading "The Jain's Death", a comic suggested earlier today by @RussSharek, I wanted to paint two scenes from it.
Page 26, depicting a tiger hidden among jungle foliage at night, and page 45-g, showing some kind of a geothermal energy explosion or eruption, stood out the most to me. They also both had a limited hue palette, and were quite contrasting, which suited me well as I have been wanting to try a couple of fairly #monochromatic paintings in preparation for #huevember, after seeing @dona's huevember creation.

So, I hope you will enjoy my #painting The Jain's Death and Rebirth in Water Colours.
