I'm trying to add a colour every now and then but still get good value, so thanks for your colour reviews.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18032738983280990503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085574906114899399.post-56879303756612855352013-12-09T13:38:42.537+11:002013-12-09T13:38:42.537+11:00Thanks Belle:)

When I started I bought a little kids pack about 8 colours, and then over the years maybe bought about 5 more colours.<br /><br />I'll need to check on some of the names, but the ones that spring to mind that I use a lot of are<br /> <br />-Burnt Umber (that's what I use for that brown wash, and to mix with colours to make a black, along with Paynes Grey. I never use actual black.)<br />-Burnt Sienna<br />-Paynes Grey (this is my favourite, you add a little to a colour and make different tones of the same colour)<br />Naples Yellow<br />Sap Green (this is what I use most for the warm grass or foliage. It's a nice Summery colour)<br />Titanium White..<br /><br />um..<br /><br />Can't remember, but there's a few others I use. But I reckon just get a little starter pack and work from there. I think I'd get way too baffled if I had 7 greens and nineteen reds that I had to make a decision on each time I paint. the experts can do that, but I think I'm better off working with less.

I wonder. Can you please ...Nice. I really like it.<br /><br />I wonder. Can you please take a photo of your paints and list what colours you have? Or just what you think are the few most useful colours you have?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18032738983280990503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085574906114899399.post-15528302730329547162013-12-09T10:40:24.438+11:002013-12-09T10:40:24.438+11:00I like it, it's simple but it has character, a...I like it, it's simple but it has character, and it all (headings, background, etc.) complements the paintings rather than drawing any attention away from them. I especially like the font for the painting titles, that one's gold.<br /><br />The Mosaic option is pretty cool!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
