I'M MAKING A PRIMARY W/C PALETTE STARTING WITH A TRANSPARENT PERMANENT WATER COLOR PIGMENT AND A MEDIUM BASE MADE OF GUM AND HONEY.

8-20-13, Here are all the results of the making water color tests.

* START MAKING MAGENTA AND OPERA WATERCOLOR. 8-15-13, I've been working on this for 3 days now. My magenta OEM magenta ink mix was the perfect color but as it ends up there are too many other chemicals in the ink and as a watercolor it ran while in the mail. OEM100:100GumAribic. It had been weeks drying but it never did. Now I'm going to use the Spectra PR122. The old best ratio was, 10 drops of alcohol, 10 Spectra PR122, 20 drops Gum, 4 drops of honey. (5 drops of honey never dried) I still have to make a big batch and test it.

Ammonia dissolved the PR122 better, alcohol made clumps of color.
**Spectra PR122, So a ratio that worked is: 15 drops ammonia, 10 drops of Spectra 122, 20 drops of Gum, 4 drops of honey. Palette #2, the third photo down.

At the same time I'm making Opera W/c.
**Opera, the best ratio is: 1 Tsp dry Opera, 1/2 Tsp Gum, 1/4 Tsp Honey. Granules were appearing in the paint so I hand ground them finer in ammonia, That worked, I'm waiting for 2 days dry.
* END MAKING MAGENTA AND OPERA. Here are the color tests.

These are the same pigments I use in my giclee printer/plotter to print the Real Color Wheel.

I made a new plastic palette, the top 3 wells are: #1, a brown tartrazine mixture, #2 a medium red-brown and a light yellow.
All 3 will make a bright cadmium yellow hue. The bottom 3 wells are PR122 magenta, PR122 + BV10 opera, PB16 cyan

(Look at the source code view to see hidden notes on block-out white, and the transparent primaries.)

FINAL FULL PALETTE

Below is the final 6 well palette, the top palette has the same mixture of colors as the bottom palette, just twice as much because of the additional pouring to account for shrinking. The center bottom well is opera, the left bottom well will have magenta in it, the right bottom well will have cyan.
