My favorite dark is prussian blue and burnt sienna gouache. It has such a velvety soft tone that I can go into and pull lights out from without it feeling too dead, and the darkest end of it is sooooo rich. It’s my favorite. Here’s a snippet from a study that I worked on this morning. Let’s hope I can keep the same energy in the final.

June 13, 2009Even though it’s a piece of the study I love the mood. I can’t wait the final. I used to use prussian blue a lot, especially in my sketch studies, but fell in love with cobalt blue mixed with burnt sienna.
