I did this a few years ago with my basic primaries...in this case, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Phthalo Blue, and Quinacridone Red. I was happy with this little farmscape. |
Went for bolder mixes yesterday, in my journal...Quin, Rose, Phthalo Blue, and Hansa Yellow in this set. |
You can go very subtle, too, if you wish...this is those same three primaries, but blended into varied blue grays. (Hero M-86 pen with Polar Brown ink, for the under-drawing.) |

Love the bolder mixes, Kate! But that portrait of Joseph is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! The beard makes him look a bit dour, sometimes, but I liked the sketch too.
DeleteNice work here Kate! And yes, that farmscape is very nice. I love your use of values light-dark-light-dark, going down the page. I don't think of values in combinations often enough. The other two sketches a great too!
