My experimentation into each artist's technique

I noticed Anne Yvonne Gilbert does quite a bit of colour mixing with her pencils so I tried out different combinations with my own pencils to try and recreate the same effect. With Charles Keeping, I experimented with various surfaces that could restrict the watercolour and ink, but I don't think I quite got the effect. After inquiring a tutor about this, I was recommended paper with shiny surfaces, so I will be using that for the final piece. Brad Holland's minimal paint technique required a lot of scratching and patience. I tried to make the process smoother by adding a bit of water to my brush and I think it did the trick.
