Hot Sauce Package Illustration with Posca & Schmincke

My voice is gone from a nasty cold, so instead of struggling to talk thru this video, I'll be sharing an ambient song I wrote & performed a few year's back. The illustration is a comp for a packaging project for a hot sauce company. Enjoy the video, the illustration, and the song!

THE ILLUSTRATION:
A packaging comp project where I'll digitally separate the ink from the background and them add color in either Photoshop or Procreate.

I still wanted to play with a color palette, so after capturing the ink drawing, I chose to paint it with watercolors. That was the fun part!

GEAR USED:
• Arches Hot-Pressed Watercolor Paper
• Black Posca Markers
• Schmincke Super Granulating Watercolors
• Princeton Aqua Elite Round Brush #8

MUSIC: [Intro]

• "Low Flying Planes (Solo Journey)" by M.D. Campbell © 2024 M.D. Campbell • All rights reserved.
(This song is a loose, interpretable ambient song, inspired by the work of Brian Eno, about a person's solo journey through life with the highs & lows.

The narrative without words in the music was fun, I am glad you played it, though I am sorry the reason you had to was illness.
I am loving the results you are getting with those Schminke watercolors. They are impressive.
Feel better soon.

The pollen count jumped up early this year, hope you are back to your ole self very soon. The music sounds like it would get you going for the day with a cup of java in a lime cup.☺️ I need a coffee break. Schmincke paints are great and so is your art. 😵‍💫

Hey, Mark! Newer viewer here. I found you when I googled how to use a water pen.

I’m trying to learn how to paint with watercolor. I’ve always been artsy and crafty. However, I’ve never painted.

Your videos have been my biggest inspiration for wanting to learn and they keep me feeling confident enough to try and keep on trying some more! 😊

I just realized this is your most recent video and you discussed being sick. First, I hope you’re well, as it’s been SO long since you’ve popped in. Secondly, if you’re well… I’d love to see some new content and I’m certain others would love it, too! Please come back. I need some more inspiration, tips, and techniques from the best! 🏆

Take care and know you’re missed here. I’ll check out your website and try to find you on social media. Maybe you’re active in those places! ❤
