Mixes

I always try to create various value streams of color, not mixing solid colors but having marbled colors, starting from dark to light. That way I can pick up various shades, without mixing, as I go.

• SG+IB = equal amounts makes a very dark green
• PRB+ TW = various shades of (add a touch of TW to make various shades of this color
• Dark green mix above + YO + touch of TW= lighter green
• Above mix + CY + TW = even lighter green
• TW + a tiny touch of CY = very, very pale yellow/white.

Medium

Safflower Oil (artist grade) diluted to 50/50 – with Galkyd Lite Medium (has a dryer in it). See canvas prep for other options.
