For this watercolor Flamingo process video, I experiment with the “disappearing purple” technique to establish values in an underpainting and then glaze transparent layers of bright pink and orange watercolors for depth and realism.

Thank you for introducing us to the concept of using grisaille in watercolor using purple in lieu of gray -- perhaps a "Violette Grisaille", and for the excellent and very clear demonstration. You also model for us the excellent habit of always exploring more concepts, methods and techniques, whether through books, in person classes or video tutorials. Well done, Aura!

Thank you very much Jessie! I love the idea of "Violette Grisaille" to describe this process. I believe in the balance of pushing yourself to try new things in order to grow, but also take time to do what is light and easy so that it stays fun and you keep picking up the brush! I really appreciate your comments, it is so helpful as a content creator to know whether or not what I do resonates with viewers/artists 😊

A thought just occurred and I might just experiment for the fun of exploring: purple, green and orange, being the secondary colors, might be the basis of a grisaille method, choosing the underpainting hue based on the overall temperature of one's subject. As an example, a green underpainting for a turquoise overpainting with a cool overall feel. Same with orange.
