Anyhow have just tried a teeny bit in cobalt for a sketch in my scribble book. I am most impressed , it has toned down without taking away of the clarity or translucence. It has also made a very British sky look British. So often clear cobalts just work better in hotter climes. Will decidedly use again. No Robert 'twas not you, your guess was very good.

But being serious, I totally agree about using black in some mixes, or neutral tint or paynes grey (the Daler-Rowney one, Winsor&Newton is too blue for this, although....). Just as you are saying, a little bit to change the tone of a colour gives a beautiful result as we can see in your painting above. Your skye colours are lovely and there is a lot of variation in it. Did you post this on POL? If not, you should! :) MiaMia Ketelsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459981171362879305.post-88651199179508018052012-06-15T04:16:28.869-07:002012-06-15T04:16:28.869-07:00Yay!
