101122 English Chintz, Cosy Plans and Paynes Grey
A late night page... The 1940s cup of my Royal Albert tea set, thinking of doing some knitting during 8 hours in the car later in the week (an unexpected journey) and trying paynes grey to make a black... Never seen the point of the colour when you can make beautiful dark blue-greys from my two favourite colours (burnt sienna and french ultramarine)... But I do hate mixing black (takes so long- lots of paint) that a darker colour would help. Also thinking about neutral tint but that seems a little purple to me. I do need a good black solution as so many things seem to be black.
Somewhat experimental page- but that is what my daily sketchbook is all about.
