Neat, I didn't know they had pan-type sets back then. (then again I'd assume that might have been how original watercolors were, as solid blocks).
James, on your gouache paintings do you even give it much thought whether you're using watercolor tubes or gouache tubes, or do you prefer one or the other?
Did Pascal sneak a cartoonish self-portrait onto the back of the canvas in the top painting?
That cartoon sketch on the back of the one canvas is so fun! My next painting definitely needs one of those ;)
This is lovely stuff! Love your blog James!
The garden party painting in the top example is Watteau's Pilgrimage to Cythera, aka Departure from the Isle of Cythera (among other names). Not sure about the painting that replaces it in the lower example.
