Painting on Location

Kihei W/C Workshop #1

Painting with the Primary Colors


This was the January 22nd and 23rd, 2004 watercolor workshop with Don Jusko.
First we all made 2 color wheels with only three colors.
One with a warm magenta PV19 and one with a cool magenta PR122,
both with cyan PB15 and Indian Yellow Nickel Complex PY108.
The warm magenta makes reds and oranges, the cool makes better blues.
Today, 8-27-10 there is an Opera color magenta PR122+BV10 that makes all color brillantly but is a little fugitive.
Here is a page with images of all the transparent yellow colors. By starting with dry pigments you can make any media.
