The purple and yellow complements continue. The background purples are the same as #207, but the leaf this time is Y18 Lightning Yellow and Y13 Lemon Yellow (which I nearly ran out of before I could finish).
Keeping track of progress on creative projects

Leaf Ghost #230
Same techniques as #227. Same set of Gansai watercolors, using Purple and Lilac for the background and Aureolin and Lemon Yellow for the leaf. The paper is 140 lb cold press watercolor paper, so rougher but less subject to warping than the mixed media paper I used the last time the background was wet on wet.

Leaf Ghost #229
Hop-Frog at last comes to its fiery end, neatly at the end of the sixth line of the sixth row.
The poem between stories this time is A Dream Within a Dream, which arguably could serve as an epigraph for the entire Leaf Ghost series.
And then at the very bottom of the page we dig into The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar.
The page this time suffered some slight damage when a small splash of water from another project fell on the paper right around row five column five. I hadn’t gotten that far with the ink yet, and (despite what the shadows are doing in this photo) the warping was barely visible. However, it made me glad that this particular sketchbook is exclusively for pen and ink. Clearly this wouldn’t have taken watercolors at all well.
