Two chimneys
Posted: March 26, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 8 Comments »I always tend to use the same colours for my mixes but lately I have been trying to change things a bit. My usual mix for grey is ultramarine blue and burnt sienna. But yesterday I did some experimentation and tried combining sap green and cadmium red. That made a gorgeous greenish grey. I also tried ultramarine and cadmium orange and that gave me a grey with lots of beautiful blue sediment in it. So today I just had to go back to my favourite farm at McGill’s Macdonald Campus. I knew I would find some great stone walls to try out my new mixes.
We had a USkPortugal meeting last saturday and I am posting the drawings.
How curious, today I also posted two chimneys.
I am going to look at it right now Pedro!
Spectacular! Those bricks/stones in the wall, too!!! Yeh!
Thanks Steven.
This is just beautiful, as usual. Thanks for sharing your gray mixes. I am going to try them today!
Let me know if they work out for you Pat.
I love how the wisps of clear crisp blue in the sky contrasts with the brick tones.
Thanks Alison!
