Six hours of painting time may have been too long.. I'm glad I have each boxed color's time.
SUMMERY:
04-08-04, It was too long a painting time. Thalo blue didn't absorb after the third layer of pigment. All of these blue colors are good when only one or two layers are used with lime water. All of the colors are good for 5 coats if lime cream is added to the color. Here is the results photo taken eight days later. Extra layers = Extra splotchy. I don't know why, maybe the pigment loads up too much.
09-05-04, I washed and scrubbed the tile. It cleaned up nicely.
One thing is really boggling up my mind.
It's Zecchi's and Sinopia's ultramarine blues.
On 1-20-4, In a lime jar test for Zecchi's ultramarine blue it turned white . In this 3-30-4 test painted on intonaco, Zecchi's blue stayed blue 4 months later.
On 4-16-4 I bought Sinopia's lime stabilized ultramarine dark and did a lime jar test on it. On 5-21-4 it was still blue.
BUT.. the on the 5-21-4 lime painting test the Sinopia blue got lighter by 9-1-4.
Ok.. I'll do a fresco test using both colors side by side, one in the lime and one on the lime in both colors. In the meantime I'll make my ultramarine blues with Thalo blue PB15.6 and cobalt blue light mixed together.
9-6-4. Here it is, lime in and lime on Sinopia and Zecchi ultramarine blues, Zecchi in the left corner, PB15.6 with cobalt blue light and a touch of titanium white in and on lime in the middle and Sinopia's ultramarine dark stabilized for lime on the right. Notations in titanium white.
