Still painting

I've been learning to mix my own colours. I used to shy away from that, especially as every colour imaginable is readily available in tubes, but that can get expensive and I don't need to create more clutter. Also, some colours you can only get by mixing: for example black on its own is flat, but mix it with ultramarine blue and you get a soft, complex black. 

This is my latest painting. Water and rocks. Acrylic on paper, 9x12 inches.

  1. Colette—I am working on mixing my own colors more too. It is definitely more interesting and cost effective…❤️
