Color Notes

Medium Hansa Yellow is the color of field daffodils, two bundles for $2.50 at the grocery.

Last night i used the fan brush, some soft gel, and the liquid hansa yellow and a touch of quid. red to paint a sheet of water color paper. I don’t know why i am so fond of yellow as a background, because i don’t think it is a good background, technically.

However, i’m preparing myself to ruin the lovely field of daffodil yellow (the streaks of quid. red from the base giving a subtle “up” and “down”-ness, a warmer weight at the base) with some blue. I ought to make the paint opaque, but still find myself enamored with the floating color in the clear gels.

We’ll see what happens.
