Hot Dark Matter part II

With a view to avoiding the over-cooked look my figures have been acquiring of late [see Hot Dark Matter part I] I’ve spent the day, yesterday, with all my tubes of dark paint:

French Ultramarine

Aliz.gif
Alizarin Crimson

ivory.gif
Ivory Black

InY.gif
Indian Yellow

after putting a Very Small Amount of each on my palette, in a dark corner, locked in a dark cupboard [with a dark key, obviously]

So I’ve mainly been using Large Amounts of:

Flake white

Naples Yellow

This is what the painting looked like before:

and this is what it looks like now:

which I feel is an improvement.

thanks to Michael Harding for the excellent paints and for the colour samples above.
