12x9
Back to my Scotland photos.
Hadn't planned to but now I think I may go back and add the water behind the bumpers.
Want to get back to my one a day practice: this week I will try to paint a photo I take on my bike ride. That'll get me on my bike every day too.
Winsor & Newton put out some throwback colors. And I bought them-- of course I did!
The 6 colors are in the left column: mineral gray, otswald gray, ultramarine ash, tyrian purple, cinnabar green, and Field's orange.
The orange has the wonderful property of quickly diffusing into water--it spreads beautifully. The purple and green are also vibrant and transparent.
The otswald gray is a lovely cool brown.
The last two colors are lovely but I would characterize them as weak: it's hard to get a good concentration--I painted these right out of the tube!
Also, the first 3 colors are all mixed of three different colors, something I try to avoid.

Oh, new colors! I try to only buy new ones now when I’m in a workshop/class and the teacher shows off one I must have. I admit, I can’t resist sometimes. Some of these look pretty cool but glad you said some are mixes of 3 others so I, too, try to avoid those, thinking I can come close with my own mixes. I need to get back to color soon. Maybe when this heat of summer has burned away and we have some cooler days! Bike riding every day? I haven’t been on a bike in years and years.
Lol. I should say I try to get on the bike everyday, when the weather is congenial. I really have no business trying new colors ... But it's irresistible!
