I love her Web site and blog. She and handprint are my go-to places for all things color. Jane is also a wonderful teacher--I took her online watercolor tutorial.<br /><br />I love Jadeite too. You might like Moonglow. It mixes beautifully with everything on my palette and creates some really moody colors.SusanAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752628219836145623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437733278011128705.post-29972361269164766442016-05-05T15:02:47.995-05:002016-05-05T15:02:47.995-05:00Other artist's palettes are endlessly fascinat...Other artist's palettes are endlessly fascinating! <br /><br />I've tried quin. burnt scarlet and Indian red as an earth red but prefer perylene maroon over both of them. Indian red is a gorgeous color but seems a bit too opaque and doesn't mix well with other paints. I use potter's pink more as an "other" paint -- muted pinks and in skin tone mixes.<br /><br />I keep going back to the first black / gray I learned to use, ultramarine and burnt umber. Pre-mixing in an empty pan just makes it convenient. Much richer than payne's gray and doesn't fade like payne's. Moonglow intrigues me though! I love PrimaTek colors' granulation --- another favorite is jadeite genuine!<br /><br />I go back and forth with burnt sienna and quin. burnt orange --- love them both! Oddly, the artist who introduced me to watercolor disliked all siennas. <br /><br />Have you checked out Jane Blundell's blog? Lots of interesting pigment studies!<br />Vicky L.

I have Indian Red in my 24-color palette right now, but I'm not sure I like it and don't really use it much anyway. Potters Pink might be an interesting earth red to try instead. How do you like it compared to other earth reds?<br /><br />I love Perylene Maroon and Perylene Green but don't have either in my palette at the moment. I'm using PR264 Pyrrole Crimson as my dark red. But Perylene Maroon and PG7 make a great black.<br />I have Indanthrone Blue as my dark blue, but thanks to your note, I now know I can mix it! <br />I got tired of mixing my gray, so I bought a tube of DS Black Tourmaline Genuine to try. I'm enjoying that; it makes some really interesting darks mixed with any of the other colors on my palette and a really yummy gray mixed with Buff Titanium. I use Moonglow a lot for shadows.<br />And I exchanged Burnt Sienna for Quin. Burnt Orange to see how I like it. So far, so good. Have you compared the two?<br /><br />I'm going to check out the link to Roisin Cure. I haven't used an orange on my palette (I use PR255 in that spot), but I've been noticing that several of my favorite sketchers/painters (Brenda Swenson, Shari Blaukopf, John Muir Laws) use it, so I might try to work that one in. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!SusanAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12752628219836145623noreply@blogger.com
