Basic color | | the commonly used color white and black pigment | | cadmium soil paint | drill blue and purple drill | phthalocyanine blue and phthalocyanine green techniques - painting the human body

The basic color When I first started painting, I included the following ten colors in my palette, plus white. Each primary color has at least one cool color and one warm color, plus one intermediate color and one complex color. White (titanium zinc white) Light cadmium yellow (primary, warm) Earth yellow (primary color, cold) Cadmium vermilion (primary, warm) Rose earth red or light red (primary, cold) Magenta (primary color, cold) Ripe ocher (compound color, warm) Bright green (interchromatic, cold) Light cobalt blue (primary, cold) Ultramarine (primary color, warm) Ivory black (cold) Commonly used color In recent years, I have added the following colors to my palette for convenience. All but phthalocyanine pigments can be combined with basic tones. For example, deep cadmium yellow can be synthesized by adding a little cadmium red to light cadmium yellow. Sheng zhe can be synthesized with earthen yellow and ripe ocher. But if you need to use a lot of paint, it's easier to use a readily available hose instead of making your own. Start Huang Sheng umber Deep cadmium yellow ripe brown Cadmium red phthalocyanine green Deep cadmium red phthalocyanine blue Deep cobalt violet The combination of basic colors and common colors is not chosen arbitrarily, nor is it original. Rubens and other Flanders painters in the 16th century are said to have done something similar. Anyway, the arrangement of colors is reasonable. White and black I use titanium zinc white because titanium dioxide is the whitest white pigment, but it forms a weak layer, and zinc oxide must be added to improve its strength and quality for pen use. Instead of coal black, I use ivory black because it is more practical and does not gray when it dries. However, it has a higher oil content and dries slowly, so pay attention when using it. I always use very thin paint when I paint the bottom layer with it. Cadmium pigments All CADMIUM SULPHIDE PIGMENTS - LIGHT CADMIUM YELLOW, DARK CADMIUM YELLOW, EOSIN (ONLY THOSE PRODUCED BY THE WINTHOR Newton FACTORY ARE USEFUL), CADMIUM SCARLET, CADMIUM RED, AND DARK CADMIUM RED ARE STABLE AND GOOD PIGMENTS. These pigments, together with their complementary or earthy pigments, can be used to make all red pigments except magenta and crimson. Earth pigment Earthen and rose earth reds (absolutely durable) are the most common tones I use when blending skin tones. Earthen and rose earth reds work with white and a little diamond blue or emerald green to blend most skin tones in natural light. The ocher I use is a Brox made in Belgium. It's the deepest, most transparent kind of ochre. It BLENDS WITH IVORY BLACK TO PRODUCE A NICE CLEAR WARM BLACK, AND RIPE BROWN IS a DARKER, less TRANSPARENT brown THAT I often USE as a CLEAR thin paint when SKETCHING. Drill blue and drill purple The blue I most often use when drawing human bodies (especially in light) is diamond blue. Because it's solid even in the thinnest shade. It is cooler than ultrabine and can be mixed with white, turquoise, phthalocyanine green or cadmium yellow to form blues such as cerulean or manganese blue. Ultramarine is mainly used to paint landscapes, but is sometimes used to paint the human body, especially when a cold transparent dark color is needed. The cobalt violet I use is deep cobalt violet because some manufacturers use cobalt arsenic to make light cobalt violet. Deep cobalt violet is made from cobalt phosphate and is therefore perfectly safe. Adding a bit of white to the deep cobalt violet produces a slightly cooler color than the light diamond violet. When I drill deep purple, I squeeze it straight out of the hose, without diluting it, or mix it with white, cobalt blue, or ultramarine. Its color power is very weak, in addition to white or blue, not easy to adjust with other colors. Phthalocyanine green and phthalocyanine blue I rarely paint bodies in phthalocyanine green because I've never seen skin tones that green. Same with phthalocyanine blue. I use them when I paint landscapes, but I also use them very carefully, because they have a very strong color power.
