{"product_id":"sousaphone-in-bright-red","title":"Sousaphone in Bright Red","description":"\u003cp\u003eBright red India ink cuts through lavender watercolor in this close study of a sousaphone’s valves and curving brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sousaphone began with a photograph gifted to me by a band teacher at VMEA 2025. I cropped most interesting part of the instrument, outlined it unabashedly in Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bombay Bright Red India ink, and then painted it mostly lavender before returning to the red in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy mom gave me a huge set of ink colors I never would have bought for myself. This piece challenged me to use an unexpected color, change my mind, rework the background, and stop worrying about whether the result counted as traditional watercolor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI used to worry that mixed-media choices would keep my work out of watercolor societies or serious exhibitions. The goal now is creative freedom: enjoying these vibrant colors, breaking a few rules, and trusting that the work is still valid even when it is not officially just watercolor.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOriginal Artwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium: Professional watercolor and archival India ink on heavyweight 300 lb Arches hot press paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 11\" x 7.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePigment Note: Dr. Ph.
