Created in an attempt to capture the magnitude of daytime skies on the limited surfaces of watercolor papers. This was meant as a combined exercise in meditating on cloud formations and of observing the changing nature of the daytime skies.
I created this collection primarily with the indigo pigment that I bought, and mixed with some gum Arabic to make a fine-grained watercolour paint.
