I went a little overboard for last week's Wizarding Wednesday's topic Arthur and Molly Weasley.

Ginny, Neville and Luna sketches with Casein Paint

Ginny, Neville and Luna sketches with Casein Paint.

I am working with a limited palette so it is hard to get some of the colors (violet, bright red, pink etc). The second is with some photoshop retouching. 

Palette: Venetian Red, Golden Ochre, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Umber, and Titanium White.

I like the paint. It behaves a lot like gouache. It is a little more forgiving if you go back into it after it dries. I am also tired of working with a limited palette. :)  I need to buy some more colors.

Here is an older post with Casein Paint including Color Swatches.

Testing out MagicPicker with The Dark Lord and Lavender

I am trying out a Photoshop Extension called MagicPicker (snicker). It leaves your Color Picker open like in Painter (other stuff too). I am really liking it so far except I can't try out all the features until I buy it.  I did some sketches for fun of Lavender and Voldemort. :)
