BLOOM! I’m going to check out that gardening journal because I am a gardener in Jacksonville, Florida! I am also a beginner at watercolor and also love to color!

[@artonthecreek]

Wonderful, Denise! I love to color too, actually-it’s a great de-stresser 💜 I also really love JAX! My son and his family were stationed there at NAS JAX for a few years-such a beautiful place we all want to go back!! Enjoy Sarah’s gardening journal! I’m using it and it’s really excellent 🫶🏼👩🏻‍🌾

[@awatercolourist]

Hi! First! Bye! Busy window shopping on the internet 😂.

[@artonthecreek]

lol Hi AW! Thanks for stopping in!

[@awatercolourist]

15:22 What is the recipe for buff, please?

[@awatercolourist]

23:08 Thanks! I did not expect previous you to answer my question in the video 😂.

[@artonthecreek]

Great! Glad you found it!

[@artonthecreek]

I think you got it - 10% yellow ochre and 90% titanium white, yes?

[@awatercolourist]

@@artonthecreek Yes. I tried that mix with my yellow ochre, but I think it’s a bit too yellow for a buff titanium. A hint of blue should tone it down. One of the more yellowish raw umbers might be a better choice than the yellow ochre, though.

[@artonthecreek]

@awatercolourist The color mixes in the book are customizable mixes to achieve the look of Sarah’s chosen palette. Buff Titanium is a wee bit different from Sarah’s Buff shade. In her book, it’s more of a pale yellow. Buff Titanium is typically a pure pigment, PW6. I’ve never tried to mix Buff Titanium nor known anyone who has…were your modifications successful?
