Artist Note.

I am still following 

the Guild's class assignment

of different color harmonies

This one is the 

Complementary one

I chose blue and orange

for mine.

Titanium White was invaluable

with the orange mixture. 

I mixed a pile with just a wee

spot of orange and that became my white.

 Transp Brown Oxide 

( a deep burnt orange)

took down the orange into 

the rich tones before.adding blue

to darken 

I used a coral

orange which can bend 

to the pink tones with a blue gray.

I used both a warm and cool blue 

Nita Leland's book,

Confident Color

has been fabulous for helping 

me understand all the different

color harmonies. The good news is that

Nita has a brand new book out,

EXPLORING COLOR

I am excited to see it because her 

other books have been invaluable 

with helping me in so many ways.
