Greens Revisited

Greens Revisited
Hi gang, have been busy with new artist in residence studio on my property and a new book project. A reader had some concerns about the green exercise I last gave so will clarify.

The basic idea is to practice making greens in each family of colors (transparent delicate, intense, and opaque) with the basic blues and yellows. you will be able to make lots of greens just by varying the amount of yellow or blue that you mix.
then, add the red in that family to the green mixtures of yellow and blue and you will create a green gray, very useful green colors. you will see the mixtures going from orange-brown (too much red and yellow) to blue gray (too much blue). practice.
then, you can do the basic mixtures and try some of the staining or intense colors, the pthalos, to the basic mixtures and see how you can enrich each of the green mixtures.

essentially that is the intent of the exercise. practice and i will have another section for you at end of next week.

keep painting, ron kasprisin
