Vandy Massey - Week #6

 Having spent last weekend in Istanbul, my head was full of glorious turquoise colours.

Arches watercolour journal entry for Winsor & Newton Cobalt Turquoise and Daniel Smith Pthalo Turquoise.

Two similar blues: W&N Cobalt Turquoise and Daniel Smith Pthalo Turquoise. Although it's not officially a granulating colour, I found it did so a bit. It stains less than the Phtalo  as well.

First idea - looking into the aquarium
