CARBAZOLE VIOLET

Carbazole Violet is an intense, medium staining dark blue violet. Straight from the tube it is nearly black and semi opaque. It washes down to a lovely pale iris color. Daniel Smith's website has some suggestions that are worth some experimenting with: "Add Indigo to Carbazole Violet, along with Quinacridone Rose or Anthraquinoid Red. Blot, squeegee and incise damp passages to created veins, variegated passages and highlights." These are promising words for a budding botanical artist, (excuse the pun). 
I "swatched this" with its watercolor stick version, as I did not have the tube formula. I have never used the watercolor sticks before and was a bit challenged by the consistency at first. I completed the rough sketch of the Agapanthus with a newfound love of the watercolor stick's ability create a thick consistency that drops into a watery wash and disperse with a magical, somewhat uncontrollable flair. I may have to buy more of them.

    SOUL

    “I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
