It’s a richly pigmented mix, and now that it’s on the tray, I find it popping up in some fun ways in my paintings. I shall call it Imp Purple after Tyrion Lannister. BUT – I am a pawn of marketing, and this color has such a great name! (In the past I’ve used Dioxazine Purple). There are plenty of other purples out there. I expect to use it in flesh-tones and portraits as well – but have not had a chance to confirm this.Īnd finally, my one truly weird color: Holbein Iridori Antique Tyrian Purple. Initially I was doubting, but it’s solved a color problem more than once in the last three weeks, And, it’s kind of handy – once again – for its granularity. That being said – it’s a handy color for many kinds of architectural stone or pavement, when mixed with a bit of yellow or sepia. Made worse by the fact that the DS variant is highly susceptible to separating in the tube – giving you straight water if you’re not careful. It’s a little off-putting at first, as it’s the weakest mix I’ve ever seen sold as paint. So – I’ve ditched the old stalwart and am experimenting with DS Potters Pink.
I just find I’m always going to the very opaque DS Pyrrol Orange or the very transparent DS Perlyne Maroon. I have a humongous tube of it – still 80% full.
I’ve had Cadmium red on there since art school, and I probably have not used it in years. Here it is below, granulating with Grey of Grey – another set-upon color you guys want me to cast aside! So it produces effects you cannot otherwise get. My rationale is – Lunar Black is a weak black – and highly granulating. Plus, I was finding it wasn’t a great color for re-wetting.īut – Ha Ha! – I’ve replaced it with DS Lunar Black! Confounding all of you who say I have too many greys. Oh by the way – just to close the circle on the post “ I’m Looking for One Weird Color“- after a tremendous discussion, with plenty of advice from all corners of the world – (that has got to be one of my most popular posts of all time) – here’s what I’ve done: Three Weird Colors!Įveryone was correct, I have a lot of greys on my palette, and Davy is easily mixed.
