I'm doing another one myself now, just finished the black and white - its a great way to practice getting the balance right as well as geting to grips with the paint itself, without worrying about the colours. When mixing black and white paint, add some burnt umber to the black as it warms it up a bit :) If you do a painting, do email it to me so I can cheer! <br />Julie Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12750152940761828189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899238264137276133.post-47264336745334045912014-09-19T15:51:57.382+01:002014-09-19T15:51:57.382+01:00I really enjoyed reading this post and sharing you...I really enjoyed reading this post and sharing your journey with this painting.
