quinacridone

The day began with the realization that using an earth red such as cadium red seemed to muddy the colors. I thought that by using the synthetic reds such as the quinacridones, I would find the right color balance . When i used quin magenta, i felt i was on the right track. From that point on, choosing the colors became effortless. The following are some of colors i added.

addition of quinacridone magenta

addition of yellow green

addition of cobalt teal

A trip to the art store to see what reddish colors are available is in order.
