Course work: Continuing work on Project Three, Stage Two, I painted the last two columns, using a mixture of cadmium red light and cadmium yellow light to produce my orange for mixing. The column mixed with cerulean blue results in a series of mid-tone neutrals that could be useful in a landscape; the column mixed with ultramarine blue produces the darkest neutrals of the entire Stage, ranging through indigo to blue-black to a very nearly true black, thence to a warm black and to a color that would stand in well for burnt umber.
