Color studies

since i painted this without any presketching with a pencil its a tad wonky but i love all the greys and blacks made with tranparent colors

I did from Making Colors sing by Jean Dobie a few weeks ago...just had not had time to post them....since the EDM list has been talking about her books lately i thought i would postthe first one is using transparent colors to make a color run next still using transparent colors combining opposites on the color wheels to make greys these...and more using opposites to make greys and blacks...

I did a small rough copy of one of her pictures using only transparent colors...mostly Daniel Smith colors and this is what i got...

i think it really glows...the point of the transparent colors is to let the paper SHINE thru and it really does on this one...looks like there is a light behind it...at least to me it does
