Mixing Colors L2 E1

It was great to mix just two colors in a variety of ways on one large page (8×10 Stillman & Birn Alpha). There are some new to me colors in my palette that I haven’t mixed much previously, so I focused on those pigments, primarily. My first mix is with Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine (All my paints for this exercise are Daniel Smith) as I wanted to try to get that nice grey this pair can mix. My next mix is Quin Gold and Pthalo Blue (GS) to see what kind of greens I can get. I mixed Cerulean Blue Chromium with Pyrrol Crimson, as I haven’t worked much that red before. I was pretty pleased with the purples I cold get from it, as well as the crazy way the Cerulean exploded into the Pyrrol Scarlet. My favorite magic happening there! Last I mixed Pyrrol Scarlet with Pthalo Green and was surprised at what a lovely grey that made, as well as an excellent earth orange red that will be perfect for tile roofs!
