Series 7

Matisse Rose Madder encourages lateral thinking in colour mixing. Combining it with Australian Ghost Gum yields soft pinks merging into ivory, reminiscent of the seamless blending found in real flowers. A fusion with Cobalt Teal produces a delightful, subdued blue, while pairing it with Phthalocyanine Green creates an intense semi-transparent black, distinct from conventional black pigments. This echoes the preference of old masters for blacks with unique qualities, such as Ivory Black made from real ivory, more potent than today's bone-derived Ivory Black. Collaborating with earth colours like Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, and Transparent Yellow Oxide infuses warmth and subtle undertones, particularly valuable for portraying lifelike skin tones.
