I used Holbein watercolours for the first time in the same Strathmore Journal that I used to paint the abstract in Mission Gold. It turned out beautifully, like a NASA image of the Orion Nebula but I don't think they are quite as 'in your face' as in the Mission Gold abstract and many of the colours had to be forced to travel although the blues did very well. I wanted to share it as it is presently, although I may tweak it a little, or a lot, at some point with black ink or perhaps even with metallic paints.
