I still feel unsure how to actually use mine.<br /><br />On the positive side, I am finally learning to use what works for me instead of copying from you, Liz, and many other artists I've met on-line.Vicky L.

Sort of like old sepia photos but with more range. All my recent sketches have used these 2 colors for the initial sketch; so far it is working well. Helps me focus more on tones and values rather than trying to get a "perfect" drawing.Vicky L.

We painted it in oils, then when dry we glazed on the colour. I did a whole body of work like that.Often the colour is minimal, because the warm and the cool are used to tint your whites as you do the underpainting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-75141988096509907352013-08-12T05:42:17.642-05:002013-08-12T05:42:17.642-05:00It would take a lot of creativity to come up with ...It would take a lot of creativity to come up with pieces which started with only ultramarine blue and burnt amber. It is very interesting to learn about all of your color choices. It would be great to see a comparison on a canvas but the color chart did a good job of showing off the range.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://online-phd-uk.co.uk/online-phd-uk-what-is-a-professional-doctorate-list-of-uk-universities/" rel="nofollow">My homepage | What is a Professional Doctorate?</a> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-69341762848397084052013-07-31T15:48:50.439-05:002013-07-31T15:48:50.439-05:00Seems a lot more versatile than I expected!

I'm not crazy about that yellow ochre, but it can be replaced with quinacridone gold.<br /><br />I'm serious about trying to capture values with the ultramarine and burnt umber mixes first. Maybe capturing lights and darks before worrying about colors would make plein air sketching faster? As well as drawing directly in ink instead of messing with a pencil. Vicky L.

B. & Burnt Sienna and generally don't use color. I will give this a try. Thanks for sharing.Sandy Sandy Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609864061349114730noreply@blogger.com
