Going from the masstone to a slightly tinted color makes a bigger difference in the modern colors (i.e., the ones with the difficult names like Naphtol red) than the older mineral colors (like Ultramarine). A little white really makes the modern colors pop. This might explain the large change in your purple mix, as the big shift from adding white may be due to the modern red you are using.ElricRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227489794575393006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292644941159303889.post-74369455997752164212016-01-29T15:28:36.403-08:002016-01-29T15:28:36.403-08:00Interesting John.

I find myself glazing over when I get a lot of technical information, haha. I think I have seen that book actually, I'll have to go check my bookshelf.

In order to create consistent textures, light-fastness and drying times the medium added to the pigments may change for each color. This happens in all paints. I tried to find out more and came across a book. The Painters Handbook" by Mark Gottsegen. Maybe of some use in understanding how paints change color when drying. It may be of use anyway it seem full of info on the technical aspects of painting. "Mark Gottsegen is the chairman of this government committee to set standards for the performance, quality, and health labelling of artist's paints and related materials - on light fastness and the general longevity of art materials are provided" Have a look on AmazonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667606958956332386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292644941159303889.post-63771094786918770862016-01-29T13:57:37.504-08:002016-01-29T13:57:37.504-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667606958956332386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292644941159303889.post-2051810698581179562016-01-26T19:11:22.556-08:002016-01-26T19:11:22.556-08:00You are welcome KC :) It's fun to experimentYou are welcome KC :) It's fun to experiment Karen Ilarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773675254350937550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292644941159303889.post-64469053001745801012016-01-26T07:59:39.276-08:002016-01-26T07:59:39.276-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449578043678035416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292644941159303889.post-82788272058324003382016-01-26T07:59:09.090-08:002016-01-26T07:59:09.090-08:00As always, thanks for sharing your experiments wit...As always, thanks for sharing your experiments with us! -KCAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449578043678035416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292644941159303889.post-86278950266884521762016-01-24T09:24:23.768-08:002016-01-24T09:24:23.768-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01628070587922593360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292644941159303889.post-4100191437906803232016-01-24T09:24:02.013-08:002016-01-24T09:24:02.013-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01628070587922593360noreply@blogger.com
