Going to try and remember today in particular to track what changes.
Meanwhile, one of those things in the alchemical, tangible, corporeal, and tactile realm is mixing paint. I mix paint often, but I do not often mix it on a palette. Even rarer is keeping them medium free. I needed more of Williamsburg’s Dianthus Pink. It’s a creamy, opaque, and firm light, rosy pink. According to Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff (though perhaps this is listed on Williamsburg’s website as well) it is a true, clear pink. There is no yellow or orange mixed in. Just a pink pigment and white. Specifically, quinacridone and a titanium white.
I used:
Titanium Dioxide (Fast Matte)
Underpainting White
Quinacridone Rose
Permanent Rose
Quinacridone Opera
Marble Dust
And here I am mixing it:
That’s quite actually it. You hardly get to see me even mix it since it’s about 80% there when I start recording. Apologies.
I may attempt this again while properly showing the beginning process, which is probably the most “““exciting””” part.
