Sketchbook work: Another in my series of color experiments, this one using a triad of lemon yellow, pthalocyanine blue, and alizarin crimson. Mixtures produce a vivid green, a very usable purple, and a slightly neutralized orange. A mixture of all three produces the most convincing black of the test series to date. Pthalocyanine blue is an exceptionally strong color, requiring a considerable amount of caution in mixing.
Time today: Two hours fifty-seven minutes (28h20m)
