Hot Dark Matter part II
With a view to avoiding the over-cooked look my figures have been acquiring of late [see Hot Dark Matter part I] I’ve spent the day, yesterday, with all my tubes of dark paint:
French Ultramarine
Alizarin Crimson
Ivory Black
Indian Yellow
after putting a Very Small Amount of each on my palette, in a dark corner, locked in a dark cupboard [with a dark key, obviously]
So I’ve mainly been using Large Amounts of:
Flake white
Naples Yellow
This is what the painting looked like before:
and this is what it looks like now:
which I feel is an improvement.
thanks to Michael Harding for the excellent paints and for the colour samples above.
