These are mixes that she says can be used to glaze over an area for shadows. Seemed like an unusual way to look at things -- almost a little "cookbook" to me, but then I realized that I already tended to do that with French Ultramarine and Burnt Siena, so it made sense to have other such mixes that could be almost "neutral tones." I even used the cerulean and rose madder mix the other day with pretty good results ... all in all, when you take a class you are going to learn some things that you may or may not use later on, if you know what I mean!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173203466820523905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-1140528903797057802006-02-21T08:35:00.000-05:002006-02-21T08:35:00.000-05:00Precious workhfmhttp://tcores.blogspot.comPrecious work<BR/><BR/>hfm<BR/>http://tcores.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-1140490748372226902006-02-20T21:59:00.000-05:002006-02-20T21:59:00.000-05:00Oh my goodness.

I just started a book and am just using the back section of the book to put a sample of my colors. I have a drawer full and want to choose which ones I want to put on my pallette. It really is easier to use colors you really know. Thanks for sharing.

What do you mean by shadow colours exactly? Colours shadowed by their complements, or what?Ramesh Gandhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448755601343354802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-1140401789876255642006-02-19T21:16:00.000-05:002006-02-19T21:16:00.000-05:00Karen -- you sure are quick!

What I like about the Canson books, is that they are spiral bound with a hard cover ... if I know I'm going to be working really wet, I just use drafting tape to tape my paper down to the back cover, which keeps it from buckling quite so much.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173203466820523905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-1140401510627417002006-02-19T21:11:00.000-05:002006-02-19T21:11:00.000-05:00WHAT a fabulous book of notes you have -- and I'll...WHAT a fabulous book of notes you have -- and I'll bet you'll be so glad!!

What ...Linda, I think that is absolutely wonderful. What an excellent tool you have created! <BR/><BR/>I believe that your addition of the "lifting" test is absolutely inspired.<BR/><BR/>I see that you did it in an all media book ... do you feel that it would be any different had you done it on watercolor paper, or do you think that the weight of the paper and its properties were adequate. I am starting to turn my aquabee superdeluxe sketchbook into a watercolor resource workbook and I was even wondering if the 90 lb. paper would be heavy enough. Maybe the type of paper doesn't matter so much. I LOVE the idea of leaving space around the edge for adding other notes.
