Color testing

[avram]

OK, been a little bit productive today:

• Bought a bunch of canvases.
• Prepped five of them with absorbent ground. (I like the papery surface this provides; makes for nice glazes.)
• I’ve got a specific project in mind for another canvas that I haven’t yet prepped; that one’s gonna take a colored ground.
• I’ve done a bit of color testing for the abovementioned project; The Acrylic Painter’s Pocket Palette suggested napthol crimson and Naples yellow hue would give me the shades I wanted, but I don’t have either of those colors. A little testing has convinced me that cadmium yellow medium and quinacidrone red will do just fine, perhaps even better.

I also ate too damn much. That curry beef. Oooog, it was like ten hours ago and I still feel full!

Oh, hey, is anyone wondering just how we’re supposed to feel about the Iraqis? Wonder no more.

Am I the only one here who understand what you are talking about? ~_^

There are at least two other painters on my Friends Of list. Probably more.
