I do try to avoid Cads - too toxic and I've heard they shouldn't even be washed down the sink :(<BR/><BR/>Deb, I'll email you about the group - would love to have you join us. I do like Quin Gold and Indanthrone, too, using it in other things but not much as a 1 to 1 mix - but I might have to try that.<BR/><BR/>Joan, your colors sound soft and feminine. I'll have to ask about your technique for your groups :)RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-13947933079422230942009-01-20T09:32:00.000-05:002009-01-20T09:32:00.000-05:00I think the answer to your question is definitely ...I think the answer to your question is definitely aqua soft bluey greens. Yes, agreed colour swatches do take patience and cleanliness to avoid contaminating colours as you go, but there is a method I teach my group members when we are discussing colour theory.Joan Sandford-Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228835690449964257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-18856405797935945702009-01-20T01:30:00.000-05:002009-01-20T01:30:00.000-05:00Favorite colors - Quin.

It's a really soft, opaque sea/grayish green. <BR/><BR/>and<BR/>2)the purple created from Peacock Blue and Opera Pink (both Holbein). <BR/><BR/>Both very happy colors.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883825044699663276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-61203982462311573282009-01-19T12:31:00.000-05:002009-01-19T12:31:00.000-05:00hey Rhonda,I have lots of favorite colors but I ha...hey Rhonda,I have lots of favorite colors but I have decided that light is my favorite color. thats all just light....Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754977794843612673noreply@blogger.com
