I recently taught a workshop where the students told me that other teachers told them never to use black. They looked at me like I was from Mars because I told them I was a black fan. I love it for greens!!! Also for the most beautiful mohogany and chocolate browns, and let's not leave out the many blues and grays that black will enhance. A useful color indeed. After i did some color mixing with them, they had changed their minds. Thank you for your always insightful comments. Love your blog too.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>LindaLinda Blondheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404572279414781192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30735909.post-67299838370817874322007-06-24T11:54:00.000-04:002007-06-24T11:54:00.000-04:00Green truly is the most difficult color to mix.

I just finished a workshop with Ovanes Berberian, and he confirmed that both he and his mentor, Serge Bongart, found greens the most challenging of all.<BR/><BR/>I personally think most people paint greens in light too acidic, raw, and blue. Mixing a warm orange in greens (like a Hansa Yellow-Orange or Indian Yellow) really helps to tone down greens, as does black. I know Ken Auster mixes his dark greens with Black + Cad Yellow Light, and they harmonize perfectly with almost anything else in the picture.Ed Terpeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08211416674089451891noreply@blogger.com
