Pansy Lesson 5
Pansy lsesson 5
5. I painted the dark purple almost black face of the pansy with alizarin crimson and Winsor blue.  I made it more toward the blue side.  The purple is painted right over the yellow.  I chose staining colours this time because I wanted a really dark colour.  These staining colours do this very well, as they are very intense.  A word of caution, staining colours go muddy if over painted with thick layers.  They are luminous if overpainted with very thin layers.  Therefore I try to decide to go dark with one go, or layer if I want a really jewel like dark colour.
