I put some mars black and some titanium white on my palette and keep mixing what I need from both with each brush stroke.<BR/>I don't like the uniformity that happens when one pre mixes a blended color.<BR/>I use Weber's turpenoid for the initial washes.<BR/>These two oils look a bit desaturated to me today on the blog. They are a bit deeper in color really.<BR/>I will post another floral soon.dfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553700992955429432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21689641.post-44310711448778470392007-05-06T22:22:00.000-07:002007-05-06T22:22:00.000-07:00These are so beautiful and make me crave oil paint...These are so beautiful and make me crave oil painting. Did you use grey paint or another color for the grisaille. I haven't completely given up on oils but get really frustrated with alternatives to turpentine for intial washes and I know turps is dangerous. Seeing your oils is thrilling -- these are fabulous.Jana Bouchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18019523068496828367noreply@blogger.com
