Day Eight 01/08/17 "Thirty Paintings in 30 Days"
Today my color is Cadmium Red made by Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Color in France. This is a warm opaque color with a yellow bias. The pigment or Color Index (C.I.) name is PR108. It has a Permanence Rating of A and is a Series 4. This means it is considered permanent and is expensive, about $25-30 for a small 37ml tube. Cadmium Red will be used as my warm red.
In doing today's charts, I took this Cadmium Red (CR) and placed it by itself in the first top square. I then tinted it by adding Titanium White for 4 additional values below this top space.
Next, in the second column, I mixed my Cadmium Red (CR) with all my other individual colors in a ratio of 75% Cadmium Red (my dominant color) and 25% of the next color, like Permanent Rose (PR). I then added white to this mixture for 4 additional values. I did this with all my 21 colors.
I absolutely love the colors I created in today's chart! And I love that I now have the "recipe" to mix them again!! This is going to make painting so much more enjoyable for me.
